Sandhawalia is a very small tribe (or gotra) of Sansi origin which claims Jat status. The tribe is originally from Rajasthan and now living in Punjab. In the 1881 Census it was listed as one of the smallest of the tribes, consisting of rich landowners.[3][4]
Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Sikh ruler of Punjab, and his family asserted lineage from this tribe.[5] [4] The Sandhawalia tribe was not famous before Raja Randhir Singh and Ranjit Singh.[4] Preminder Singh Sandhawalia records the family's genealogical history in his book as being of Jat lineage.[4][6]
History & Distribution
