History

Raja Gaj founded Ghazni. On Sunday, the 3d of Bysāk, the spring season (Vasant), the Rohini Nikhitra, and Samvat Dharmaraja (Yudhishthira) 3008 (=93 BC), Raja Gaj seated on the throne of Ghazni. Raja Gaj invaded Kashmir ; and married the daughter of its prince, by whom he had a son, called Salivahan. When this child had attained the age of twelve, tidings of another invasion came from Khorasan. Raja Gaj sent his family and kin, and on pretence of a pilgrimage to Jwalamukhi, with the prince Salivahan, to Punjab, where he fixed on a spot with abundance of water, and having collected his clansmen around him, he laid the foundation of a city which he named after himself, Salivahanpura (Salpura), on Sunday, the 8th of the month of Bhadoon of S. 72 (=16 AD). The surrounding Bhomias attended, and acknowledged his supremacy. Salivahan conquered the whole region of the Punjab.[7]

Salbahan had fifteen sons, who all became Rajas : viz., Balund, Rasaloo, Dhurmungud, Vacha, Roopa, Soondur, Lekh, Juskurn, Naima, Maut, Neepak, Gangeou, Jugeou ; all of whom, by the strength of their own arms, established themselves in independence. [8]

H.A. Rose[9] writes that Raja Rasalu of Punjab folklore had by a paramour of the scavenger class four sons, Seo, Teo, Gheo, and Karu, from whom are respectively descended the Sials, Tiwanas, Ghebas, and Karrals.

राजा रिसालू

दलीप सिंह अहलावत[10] ने लिखा है ... राजा रिसालू - राजा शालिवाहन की छोटी रानी नूणादेह से रिसालू पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए जो पूरण भगत की मौसी के बेटे भाई थे। प्रचलित लोककथाओं के अनुसार उसका जन्म ही पूरण भगत जी के आशीर्वाद से हुआ था। प्रचलित लोककथाओं के अनुसार उसका जन्म ही पूरण भगत जी के आशीर्वाद से हुआ था। राजा रिसालू सातवीं सदी के अन्त में अथवा आठवीं सदी के आदि में राज्य करते थे जिनकी राजधानी सियालकोट थी। राजा रिसालू के शासनकाल में मोहम्मद बिन कासिम ने भारत पर प्रथम मुस्लिम आक्रमण का नेतृत्व किया था।

इस आक्रमण की समाप्ति के पश्चात् मोहम्मद बिन कासिम तथा राजा रिसालू में परस्पर सन्धि हुई थी। यह तथ्य भारतीय तथा अरबी इतिहास ग्रन्थों में उपलब्ध है। प्रख्यात इतिहासवेत्ता डा० टेम्पल ने सन् 1884 ई० में इस सम्बन्ध में शोध की थी, उससे भी यही तथ्य प्रमाणित एवं पुष्ट हुए हैं। डाक्टर टेम्पल की मान्यता है कि राजा रिसालू सिन्धु अथवा सिन्धड़ गोत्र के जाट थे[11]।
