Answer

Jain parampara mein “Shah” ya “Sah” ek surname/upaadhi hota hai, lekin iska ek fixed gotra nahi hota.

Shah parivar ka gotra alag-alag ho sakta hai, kyunki gotra parivar, vansh, sampraday, aur kul-parampara ke anusaar hota hai.

Explanation

“Shah” shabd ka prayog kai Jain aur anya samajon mein vyapari ya sammanit parivar ke surname ke roop mein hota hai. Isliye sirf surname “Shah” dekhkar gotra nishchit nahi kiya ja sakta.

Gotra jaanne ke liye aam taur par:

• Parivar ke buzurgon se puchha jaata hai
• Kuldevi/Kuldevta ki parampara dekhi jaati hai
• Vivah ke purane records ya vanshavali dekhi jaati hai
• Samaj ke gnyati/mahajan records se pata kiya ja sakta hai

Takeaway

Shah ka koi ek universal gotra nahi hota. Aapke parivar ka gotra aapki apni kul-parampara se hi sahi tarah jaana ja sakta hai.
