He further adds that Gujars came to India in the 3rd wave of migration around the mid third century CE. Ibbeston also supports Scythians descend of Gujjars. K.S. Singh additionally bolster the hypothesis on the premise that next to Jats, Gujjars are the main race of remote beginning in north west portion of Indian subcontinent who are known to have been amazing during starting of the former centuries of years of Christian period.
