History
Bhim Singh Dahiya [11] Bharangurs in Punjab are called Bhangu. [12]This clan finds mention by the Greeks, at the time of Alexander’s Invasion and it is mentioned under the name, Phegelas or Phegeus. It is well known that the Indian “B” was termed into “P” by the Greeks and the suffix “S” is to be ignored as a Greek peculiarity. Keeping these facts in mind the name that remains is Bhagal or Bhagu. Under both these forms, this clan is known even today. Panini mentions them under the name Bhagala. They were a self governing clan, ruled by an aristocracy, with justice and moderation [13] Kaka, son of Kotal, grandson of Bhandargu Bhangu was ruling at Siwistan when the Arabs attacked Sindh. [14] Bhangu is given as the name of a demon, as well as the name of a mountain. Monier-Wlliams also mentions a Bhangasura. [15] [16]
