After settling at Sirhind, the first difficulty, Soods had to face
was that there were no other royal Rajput families near about and it
became a problem to marry their sons and daughters. They then
divided themselves into Sub Castes and started inter-marriages. On
the name of the head of the family, or on the name of the village, they
settled in, a Sub Caste was created ? such as Gopal after the name of
Gopal-bin-Saru, Raja of Dharan, Mandal after Mandal-bin-Rekh Singh
Raja of Urja; Dadan after Dadan-bin-Nirhar Raja of Jamer, Ugal Singh
Raja of Bhakkar, Phassi after Pharsi Raja of Mailsi etc. There were
in all the following 52 Sub Castes:?

Ahmed Shah Abdali invaded India 7 times. Every time the
target was Sirhind, as it was an important trade centre. The invader
used to link it with the Kabul regime, but when he went back it was
again taken over by the local rulers. Disgusted with this loot, plunder
and political instability, some families migrated from Sirhind to the
mountainous regions and then the following 52 separate Sub Castes
of those families were created, mostly after the names of the villages,
they settled in, such as Bajwaria, Mahdoddia, Jullundhri,Jandrangloo:?
