Mohyal (alternate spellings include Muhiyal, Muhial, Mhial, Mohiyal or Mahjal) is the name of an endogamous ethnic group that originates from the Gandhara region and consists of seven Brahmin lineages of that area that left the usual priestly occupation of Brahmins long ago to serve as soldiers and in government services. Most Mohyals are Hindus. Many are Sikhs - largely as a result of the role played by Mohyals in the formative days of the Sikh religion and also because of a tradition once popular in Mohyal families of bringing up the eldest male child as a Sikh. ==Mohyal clans== The Mohyals are divided into seven gotras (clans):〔 * Bali: Parashar * Bhimwal: Kaushal * Chhibber/Chibber:Bhrigu * Datt: Bharadwaja * Lau: Vasishtha * Mohan: Kashyap * Vaid: Dhanvantri/Bharadwaja 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohyal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
