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:?
