Khandowa (clan)

Khandoya or Khandowa (Urdu/Punjabi: کھنڈویہ ، کھنڈوعہ, also spelled Khandowya and Khandowa) is a Punjabi Rajput sub-clan mainly present in the northern, central and western parts of the Pakistani Punjab, with significant numbers living in Jhang, Chakwal and to a lesser extent in Khandowa.

History
At the rural level, the Khandoyas were historically the zamindar or landowning class and to this day many Khandoya families live on and cultivate the land, which their ancestors held for centuries. They often carry titles typical to Punjabis who own tracts of ancestral land.
