Daahar

Daahar (दाहर) (Dahar) Jat clan is found in Multan, Pakistan.

History

In Bahawalpur they hold an important position. Their descent is traced from Raja Rawan, ruler of Mirpur Mathila, near Ghot-ki, who was converted to Islam by Sayyid Jalal and was by him named Amir-nd-Dāhr, or " Ruler of the Age." Once rulers of part of Sindh, the Dāhr power decreased in the times of the Langah supremacy, and in Akbar's time they were addressed merely as Zamindārs, but the Nahars conceded many privileges to them and these were maintained by the Daudpotras on their rise to power. The Dahrs are closely connected with the Gilani-Makhdums of Uch, to whom they have, it is said, given eighteen daughters in marriage from time to time. (For further details see the Bahawalpur Gazetteer.)
