Dhamial Rajputs
The Dhamial Rajputs of the Pothohar Plateau are a branch of the Janjua Rajput clan.
According to Lepel H. Griffin:
On the death of their father, they determined to divide the country called, from Raja Mal, the Maloki Dhan between them. Jodh took the Salt Range near about the Makrach, and captured the town of Makshala from a colony of Brahmins (Mohyals)...He changed its name to Makhiala and built a fort there and two tanks for rain water. ... Wir Khan, took the possession of Khura near modern Pind Dadan Khan.[1]
