'''Ghorewahas''' (or '''Gorewaha''') are [[Kachwaha]] [[Rajput]]s. [[Raja Man Singh]], sixth in descent from [[Kush]], son of [[Lord Ram]]), had two sons, [[Kachwaha]] and Hawaha of the lineage of Hawaha (161). They lived in Hosiarpur and Jalandher before partition, but as they followed Islam, they had to migrate to [[Pakistan]] after partition. The famous chief justice of Pakistan, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, belongs to this clan. They use Rana as their family title. |

== History == |
|||
The Ghorewahas live in the southeast [[Nawanshahr]] Tahsil, as well as in the adjoining [[Garhshanker]] Tahsil of [[Hoshiarpur]], but they also hold estates in eastern [[Phillaur]] Tahsil. The Grand Trunk Road between Phagwara and Phillaur is the boundary between them and the Manj Rajputs. They run various communities in this area. |
|||
The [[Nawanshahr]] and [[Phillaur]] Ghorewahas give similar accounts of their arrival in this country. In Sambat 1130 or 1131 two brothers, Ahwaha or Hawaha and [[Kachwaha]], sons of [[Raja Man Singh]], came from Kot Kurman or Kurwan on a [[pilgrimage]] to Jawala Mukhi. Near Arak, a place in [[Ludhiana]], close to Rupar, they met [[Muhammad of Ghor]], who was then the ruling monarch. They presented a fine horse to the king, who gave each as much country as he could ride round in a day. Hawaha joined [[Sutlej]], and [[Kachwaha]] the other side, and at night fall the former threw down his [[spear]], at what is now the [[village]] of Selkiana, to show the limit of his domain while the latter marked the spot where he had arrived at by his [[bracelet]], on the site of the present village of Kangananwal. [[Kachwaha]] returned to [[Udaipur]], but Hawaha remained and held both territories. |
|||
== Successors of Hawaha == |
|||
According to Suleman Khan of [[Rahon]], the successors of Raja Hawaha have been [[raja]]s for for 13 [[generations]]. Raja Bin was the father of Rana Rajpal and Bhinsi. |
|||
The Ghorewahas of Rahon and Shekhomazara and those of Saroha Simil, Mukandpur and Gag in the Garhshankar Tahsil and of Bairsian , Kunail are descended from Rana Rajpal, son of Raja Bhin. |
|||
Till Indian independence in 1947 the Rana of Rahon and the Rajrana of Jadla controlled most of the estates, while the Muslim Rana of Rahon fled to Pakistan after Partition; the successors of the then Raja Rana Labh Singh of the [[Zamindari]] of Jadla-Ghorewah remain in Punjab, the zamindari was brought down to 11 villages in the 1950's and abolished in 1956 while the title was handed down to Raja Sangram Singh through Rana Rajeshwar Singh.* |

==Controversy== |
|||
It is suggested that the Ghorewahs are not Kachwahas as Kot Kurman which is often identified with Udaipur is not where the Kachwahas are found. The Kachwahas are found in Jaipur and the Sisodias are found in Udaipur. |
