Raja Dhuman Khan

A historical record concerning Duhman Khan in the Gakhar historical context of the Domeli and Padhri region of Jhelum.

Raja Dhuman Khan — Historical Record Duhman Khan is mentioned in the historical Gazetteer of the Jhelum District in connection with the Gakhar families of the region. The Gazetteer records Domeli, Padhri and Baragowah as the principal seats or Mandis of the Bugiāl branch of the Gakhars. This establishes the important Gakhar historical connection of Domeli. The same Gazetteer mentions a formerly prominent family of Padhri. Its late head, Fatteh Mehndi, is described as having been respected, and his son is named Duhman Khan. The available Gazetteer does not provide sufficient information to establish Duhman Khan's exact birth date, death date, complete ancestry, descendants, battles or a complete shajra. Therefore, these details should not be presented as verified historical facts without additional documentary evidence. Domeli.org records this information as part of the wider Gakhar historical heritage of Domeli and the surrounding Jhelum region. Future family records, shajra documents, inscriptions or historical publications can be added when reliable evidence becomes available.
