PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY:
The traditional history of the family starts in 1070AD,
when two sons
of the Kachwaha Raja Man of Kot Kurman, Hawaha and
Kachwaha came to Panjab on pilgrimage where they met the
then ruling
Emperor, Shabab-ud-din Mohammad Guauri, they presented a
fine horse to
the him, who promised them as much territory as much they
could
cover on a horseback in a day.
At sunrise they started running their horses on either
sides of the
Satlej and at
sunset the
former threw down the spear (sela), where the
present village of
Selkiana is now situated, to show the limit of his domain;
while the
latter marked
the spot he had arrived at by his bracelet (kangan
), on the
site of
the present village of Kanganwal, the area comprised of
1,860 villages.
The Emperor also gave them the Fort of Garhshankar.
They were given the title of Raja for 13 generations and
were to use
Rana after that. The
Ghorewaha Rajputs became Chiefs of Machiwara, Rahon,
Jadla,
Balachaur, Rahimabad, Bijwara, Shankarbhanot (Garh
Shankar), Phillaur
and Bhaddi amongst other places. They defeated the
Rathores at Bardar,
conquered Nawanshahr from the Mahton Rajputs
and Rahon from the Gujjars. The
Ghorewaha were given the title of Mian by Emperor
Jehangir. During
Emperor Akbar’s time, the Ghorewaha Raja was Rana Udho II,
The Raja of
Machiwara, Rana Udho actively assisted
Emperor Akbar in
his fight for the Delhi Throne, he captured the rebellious
Bairam
Khan and subsequently the Raja was allowed to retain the
Jagir
of Rahon
worth 750 villages. The
division of the Ghorewaha country took place after Rana
Udho’s death
when all the Branches were Hindu, including that of the
famed Rai Rup
Chand. The principal Jagirs were taken, Rahon by the Tikka
and Jadla
by Bhoj Singh, who returned from Jaipur. The latter was
held in Jagir
until Sikh interference when
Jadla Fort was held by a Sikh Sirdar for sometime, on
repulsion, the
jagir was reduced to 22 Villages extending from village
Garhi to
Daulatpur and was held as a pattidari jagirdari with the
head of the
branch
appointed as Alalambardar
and Rana of Jadla, who was confirmed on each succession
