History of the Bhatia Jatts (source: "Jattan Da Itihas" - Author: Hoshiar Singh Dulhe)

This is an ancient Jatt tribe. This clan was founded by Bhatta. This clan ruled over Delhi at one time, 6th to 8th century. Bhatia, Bath, Mand, Uppal and Bhatti lineage went towards Rajasthan. They came into Punjab at the end of 15th century.

Historian Bhai Partap Singh Palli in his book â€œPunjabi Jeewan ate Sanskritiâ€™, writes that people of Bhatia clan have been dwelling in the villages of Bhatia in Gurdaspur. Bhatia and Bath, are two of branches of this Clan. Darolli was founded by Bhatias. Bhatias left Moga to found Daroli.

According to the first land demarcation of 1852-53, a dancer named Daroli had received some estate here from Moslem King. Bhatia became tenants of Daroli. After her death they inherited her estate. According to Ferozepur Gazeteer, Baba Lumbraâ€™s descendents settled Bhatia in Malwa. Founders of Daroli were Ajab and Ajaib, two sons of Baba Lumbra. Both brothers were keen followers of 3rd Sikh Guru. They are also referred in one of the ballads of Bhai Gurdas.

Sai Das Khatri, the co-brother-in-law of Guru Hargobind Sahib dwelled in Daroli. He was staunch follower of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Bhatia were keen followers of Sikhism. The 6th Guru gave the title of Bhaiki to the village of Daroli. Hence Bhatia are also known as Bhaike. Bhai Kalyan Das of Bhatia clan was a staunch follower 6th Guru. He was grandson of Ajaib. Bhai Kalaynaâ€™s son Bhai Nand Chand became a General of Guru Gobind Singh. The descendents of Bhai Kalyana founded the two villages named Koreala, two named Taimur and Jogewala and Bhai ka Wara.

When their numbers inflated in Malwa, some of the Bhatia went towards Majha and Doaba. Most of the Bhatia are presently settled in Doaba.
