Dhudhi tribe of Rajpoot warriors, ruled Punjab presently in Pakistan and India when Mahmood Ghaznavi invaded India 17 times.Raja Anand Pal, Raja Mehpal and Raja Kamday were the rulers of this tribe. Every time Mahmood Ghaznavi defeated these Dhudhi Rajas, but as soon as he left India they revolted. Ghaznavi sick of these revolts as he failed to tame these warriors, took a daughter and son of Raja Kamday as hostages to Ghazni, back home. These two Rajpoot Dhudhi children were brought up by Ghaznavi in his palace with his own children. They were given Islamic education and became HAFIZ (remembering by heart)of Quran. Grown up both became sufi saints. They returned to their homeland after the death of Ghaznavi and had no interest in ruling.They settled near Burewala, Distt Vehari in Pakistan. These sufi saint of early Indian history were known as Dewan sahab of Chawli Mashaikh and Mai Kangan Bars. Dewan sahab better known as Baba Sher, was a saint who taught Islam and sufism to non muslims for a long time. Chawali Mashaikh means Mashiakh village or the village of dervesh. His level of sainthood is eminent from the fact that Baba Farid Shakarganj had CHILLA(religous ibadat) at his mazar and received FAIZ(spiritual benefit).Dewan sahab and Mai Kangan Bars never married and had no children. But all Dhudhis consider them thair grand father and grand mother. Strange fact about about Dhudhis is that they are scattred all over Punjan and Sindh provinces, but whith very little concentration. It shows their persecution through the brutality of Ghaznavis that they had to hide themselves for thair safety and disapper in distant places.
