History

Lepel H. Griffin^[1] describing the family of Malod writes that The chief of these is Malod descended from Bakhta or Bakht Mal, the fourth son of Chaudhri Rama and brother of Duna and Ala Singh, the founders of the Bhadour and Pattiala houses.

Bakhta, like his brother Ala Singh, left the ancestral village of Bhadour, and founded, eight miles to the eastward, a village which he called after his own name. Nothing further is related of him, but his son Man Singh was a distinguished Chief.

His mother was of the Man - Jat clan.
