History of Ghuman/Ghumman Jat
The Ghumman tribe of Jats are connected with the Janjua Rajputs, and are descendants of Raja Sanpal Janjua. Ghumans are descended from Raja Sanpal, who was a Rajput Janjua Prince.[citation needed] Raja Sanpal, was the younger son of Raja Jodh[1], the conqueror of Makhiala. Raja Jodh was the son of Raja Mal, the ruler of Malot Fort in Chakwal, originally hailing from Raja Dalip Singh of Delhi. Raja Sanpal Janjua married many wives and had many sons, who founded various sub tribes and clans. Raja Sanpal's youngest son, Raja Ghumman Singh, took service in Jammu during the rule of Sultan Firuz Shah of Delhi, founded Ghumman Clain which has 21 sub-divisions, each representing an alleged son of Sanpal.

Ghummans are the most prominent caste of Royal Jats of Punjab and like every Jat, they claim to be the owners and lords of Punjab and claim to be from the Royal family.They intermarry with all the leading JATS, with the exception of the Mans. They have a few peculiar wedding customs, such as the worship of an idol made of grass tied up with red cloth, and the pouring of water on a lambs head. They are good agriculturists.

In Sialkot, they live in village Muhadipur and many other villages and Sambrial is known to be their main area.
