Kalhana in his famous history book Rajtarangni mentions that Punjab was ruled by a Gurjara King Alkhana or Alakhana or Alkhoon in ninth century. The present names of Gujranwala, Gujrat, Gujar Khan, Gojra, Rawlpindi (for Rawal Gurjars), PindiBhati (for Bhati Gurjar) and many more cities and villages are the remnant of the Gurjara Kingdom in Punjab with its capital Sialkot, established by Mihir Gul. It is worth mentioning that the Huns entered India were called Alkhoon Huns. It is probable that the word Alkhana is Alkhoon of Gurjara stock as mentioned in many history books. The Gurjara Kingdom of Punjab may not be confused with the Gurjara Country with capital in Rajasthan (6th to 13th century) of Northern India and was ruled by different Gurjara Kingdoms like Tomars, Partihars, Parihars, Chhans, Solankis etc.
