Kharal
Kharal (Punjabi: ) is a Punjabi tribe predominantly found in the Sandal Bar region of Punjab, Pakistan, with significant numbers also present in Mandi Bahauddin, Pind Dadan Khan, Muzaffargarh,  Multan and further south to Sindh. History and description 
The Kharals predominantly inhabit the western plains of Punjab that lie below the Salt Range and its surrounding areas. The Kharals seem to be most concentrated in the Ravi River Valley between Lahore and the former Montgomery District, this corresponds well to Ain-i-Akbari (1595 CE) listing of Kharal Zamindaris in different Parganas. Additionally, Kharals were designated as a Martial race being known for their bravery and fierceness. A journal by Government College University lists Kharals along other tribes as Jats. Modern Indian and Pakistani census reports mention Kharals as Jats who claim Kshatriya(Rajput) origin. The Kharals have numerous subdivisions and clans some of which include Upera, Lakhera, Begeke, Randhaira, Lalhaira, Rubera, Sahi, Lodike[y], Dehar, Churiara, Khar, Bhandra, Daulke[y], Sherke[y] and Gogera; the Kharals use many titles including Rai, Raja, Chaudhry and Malik but Rai is mostly used. Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal is a historical personality, who was the chieftain of the Kharal tribe, who revolted against the British in the 1857 revolt, where he consequently took leadership of the many local tribes in the region. He was killed while offering afternoon prayers by the British on September 21, 1857. The Kharals are also famous in the Indian Subcontinent due to the one of the greatest and tragic Punjabi romances called Mirza Sahiban. According to the story of Mirza Sahiban as narrated by the Punjabi writer Pilu, the story's protagonist is Mirza, son of the chief of the Kharals of Danabad, who falls in love with his cousin Sahiban, of the Sial tribe. To date there have been many film adaptations in both Pakistan and India of the Story of Mirza and Sahiban.
