History of my cast "Gondal"

in #gondal7 years ago

The Gondal are one of the Jat clans tribes found mainly in Punjab, Pakistan. They are also a few in Indian Punjab, and other parts of India. They are believed to have accepted Islam on the inducement of famous Sufi poet Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar of Pakpattan and were instructed by him to stay in the area between the Chenab River and Jhelum Rivers. They are approximately half a million in population. Gondals have their own traditions regarding hospitality and hostality outsider is not welcome in general.Respect is never compromised among this tribe. They are also famous for taking revenge. Ghanon is the name of the first man(this debateable few people say Gondal himself embraced Islam) who accepted Islam at the hand of Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar. Ghanon came from India in the mid 1200s, at the time Ghiyas ud din Balban was governing Delhi.1. Gondal 2. Sukha, son of Gondal, 3. Badhrad son of Sukha, 4. Hans son of Badhrad, 5.
