Budhal Tribe
The Budhal are a clan of the Golra division of the Awan tribe, claiming descent from, the Caliph, Ali. History As per the manuscript 'Tareekh e Budhal' translated to Persian in 1818, as well as, the 1860 and 1880s British India land settlement records, Budhals are a branch of the Awan tribe descended from Qutb Shah's grandson, called Ahmed Ali, who had the agnomen of 'Badruddin urf Buddo/Budh Shah'. Due to the confusion of similar sounding names, this clan should not be confused with Badhal, Banderhal, Bohdal / Bodla clans, who are categorized as either Rajput or Jat clans, and reside near Kashmir region. It was believed by the later British-Raj sociologists that the clan had migrated across the Jhelum River from Jammu and Kashmir, however this is conjecture, to connect the clan with a region with a similar sounding name in Jammu and Kashmir, which has derived its name from a local type of hardwood. Rather, it can be said that, the Budhal were erstwhile allies of the Gakhar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Jhelum River (/dʒʰeːləm/) is a river in the northern Indian subcontinent.

Etymology Anjum Sultan Shahbaz, a Pakistani author, recorded some stories of the name Jhelum in his book ''Tareekh-e-Jhelum'' as:''Many writers have different opinions about the name of Jhelum. One suggestion is that in ancient days Jhelumabad was known as Jalham. The word Jhelum is reportedly derived from the words Jal (pure water) and Ham (snow). The name thus refers to the waters of a river (flowing beside the city) which have their origins in the snow-capped Himalayas.''However, some writers believe that when Mughal princ ...

Early life Father's assassination In 1519, Tatar Khan was assassinated by his nephew Hathi Khan, due to envy and hatred. War with Hathi Khan Sarang Khan and Adam Khan, both being young, escaped to Dangali. They then desired their share of the land and thus anarchy and disorder took rise. The hate, enmity, anarchy and discord coming from both sides increased to such an extent that war between Hathi Khan and the two brothers became inevitable and so they began to attack each other. It is famously known that the vanguards in the army of Hathi Khan declared that they would not strike any with the spear besides Sarang Khan. One of them, named Murad Khan, struck the head and face of Sarang Khan with a spear. Assassination of Hathi Khan Hathi Khan made peace with the Kaswals and married a daughter from the famil ...

Potohari Language
The Indo-Aryan language spoken on the Pothohar Plateau in the far north of Pakistani Punjab, as well as in most of Pakistan's Azad Kashmir and in western areas of India's Jammu and Kashmir, is known by a variety of names, the most common of which are Pahari (; an ambiguous name also applied to unrelated languages of India), and Pothwari (or Pothohari). The language is transitional between Hindko and Standard Punjabi. There have been efforts at cultivation as a literary language, although a local standard has not been established yet. Grierson in his early 20th-century Linguistic Survey of India assigned it to a so-called "Northern cluster" of Lahnda (Western Punjabi), but this classification, as well as the validity of the Lahnda grouping in this case, have been called into question. In Kashmir, speakers of Pahari-Pothwari are known as Pahari people. Geographic distribution and dialects There are at least three major dialects: Pothwari, Mirpuri and Pahari. They are m ...
