History

B S Dahiya[12] writes: Pangal are mentioned in Markandeya Purana and also by Varahamihira as Pingalaka.[13] By removing the suffix 'ka' we get the correct clan name as Pingala or Panghal. They have no connection with wings (Pankha) of any bird, as sugsested by Ibbetson.[14] They are now found in Mahindergarh dlstrict of Haryana.

They have been mentioned in Shalya Parva, Mahabharata/Book IX Chapter 44 in shloka 96 as Pingaksha.[15]

They are mentioned in Markandeya Purana and also in Varahamihira as Pingalaka.[16] [17] They are mentioned in the Satapatha Brahmana as Paingya. [18] [19]

Jat clans as described by Megasthenes also includes this clan. Megasthenes writes that after Taxila, Then succeeds a level tract of country known by the general name of Amanda (Manda), Whereof the tribes are four in number inhabiting the area and these are The Peucolaitae (Pangal), Arsagalitae (Asiagh), Geretae (Getae), Asoi (Asiagh)

H.A. Rose[20] writes that the Bagri Jats have certain sections which might appear totemistic, but very rarely is any reverence paid to the totem. Such are :— Pankhal, peacock’s feather, is so called because a Dohan Jat girl had been given in marriage to one Tetha of Tosham. The couple disagreed and Tetha aided by the royal forces attacked the tribe and only those who had placed peacock’s feathers on their heads were spared.

Local tradition

Ramesh Chander Khatkar[21] writes: I belong to Tosham. The village is home of Panghal. (Panghal means from Tosham only) The original gotra of Panghal was Duhan. The gotta name is associated with a story of a prominent Zagirdar/lambardar of the village. He took decision to marry his daughter to his farming helper whose family background was not known. Some say he was a rajput handsome boy of Ratia a nearby village. The villagers opposed and decided to finish the girl,boy and family. The information reached to the girl and so to her father. He proceeded to local Kiledar and sought his army help on the pretext of crushing revolt. While reaching in the village he sent message to the residents those who are opposing him shall be killed others who want to take his side shall be taken care of. And suggested to place a bird feather (Pankh) in the turban to confirm loyalty to Nambardar. This way all citizen not bearing Pankhurst were killed and loyals were spared. These people were demarcated as PANKH WALA LATER ON THIS PANKHWAL PRONOUNCED AS Panghal.

पंघाल गोत्र का इतिहास

पंडित अमीचन्द्र शर्मा[22]ने लिखा है - [p.30]: पंघाल गोत्र के बड़े का नाम थीथा था जो चौहान संघ में था। चौहान संघ मुख्यतया जाट गोत्रों का ही संघ था। वह सांभर के आस-पास किसी ग्राम में रहता था, वहाँ से चलकर तोशाम जिला हिसार (अब भिवानी जिले) में एक टूण गोत्री जाट के घर रहने लगा। थीथा और उस जाट में प्रेम हो गया। थीथा सुंदर और प्रवीण था।

[p.31]: वह जाट वहाँ का नंबरदार था। वह औरंगजेब (1618 – 1707) को ग्रामकर (माल) भरने दिल्ली जाया करता था तब वह थीथा को भी साथ लेजाया करता था। बाद में जाट ने थीथा को ही अपना मुखिया बना लिया और अपनी पुत्री का विवाह उसके साथ कर दिया। अब थीथा की दिल्ली में पहचान हो चुकी थी। जब जाट मर गया तो थीथा के साथ जाट के पुत्रों का विरोध हुआ। जाट के पुत्रों ने थीथा को मारना चाहा। थीथा की स्त्री को नाईन ने यह खबर देदी। थीथा ने दिल्ली जाकर बादशाह औरंगजेब की सहायता ली। बादशाह ने सेनापति भेजकर तूण जाटों पर हमला कर दिया जिसमें कुछ तूण जाट मर गए और कुछ भाग गए।

[p.32]: थीथा ने अपने घर की रक्षा के लिए मोर पक्षियों के पंख का चिन्ह कर दिया था इसलिए थीथा के घर को पंखालय कहा गया और उसकी सन्तानें बाद में पंखाल बोली जाने लगी जिसका रूपांतर पंघाल हो गया। पंघाल जाटों के संघ का वही गोत्र है जो चौहान संघ का पंघाल है। यह विवरण तालू ग्राम के चौधरी पखिरियाराम के पुत्र रामलाल ने लिखाया। वह पंघाल जाट है।

नोट - पंडित अमीचन्द्र शर्मा ने ऊपर टूण गोत्र का उल्लेख किया है। टूण गोत्र जाटों में नहीं होता है। यह संभवत: दूण या दुहण होना चाहिए। भाट द्वारा थीथा के 'मोर पक्षियों के पंख का चिन्ह' का प्रयोग करना यह बताता है कि वह मौर या कोई नागवंशी वंश से होना चाहिए।[23]
