'''Asiagh''' or '''Asiyag''' or '''Sihag''' or '''Sehwag''' is a [[gotra]] of [[jats]] in [[Rajasthan]], [[Haryana]] and [[Madhya Pradesh]] in [[India]]. 

They were rulers in [[jangladesh]]. Jangladesh coincided with the princely state of [[Bikaner]] in Rajasthan. The Asiagh people were inhabitants of [[Asirgarh]]. One group of them migrated to [[Europe]]. Another group moved to Jangladesh. The country [[Assyria]] derives its name from Asiaghs. The origin of word Asiagh is from [[Sanskrit]] word ‘[[Asi]]’ meaning sword. According to [[Kautilya]] the people who depended on ‘Asi’ (sword) for their living were known as Asiagh. 

According to G. [[Bongard-Levin]] and A. [[Vigasin]], [[Soviet]] studied have revealed that the migration of [[steppes]] [[tribes]] from [[Central Asia]] started in [[second century BCE]]. Excavation in [[Tajikistan]] and [[Swat]] (Pakistan)]] reveal the presence of [[Aryan]] culture in Central Asia at that time. Some groups of these people had lineage directly with the [[Rig Vedic]] Aryans.

The [[Saka]] [[tribes]] in [[second century BCE]] crossed [[Pamir]] and moved to north India. They carried with them some elements of the Central Asian culture. The sword, “[[Asi]]” in [[Sanskrit]], is one of them that came to [[Taxila]].
From the above description it becomes clear that the Asiagh people were the first wave of Sakas from Central Asia.
