  • Dhoke Rajgan is a very small dhoke of about 10 families of Minhas Rajput tribe. This dhoke was established about 80 to 85 years ago by moving out of ancestors of those presently living there from main Kauntrilla as their lands were near that place(Dhoke Rajgan). The dhoke is surrounded by kassi in the North, Mohra Jarian in the South, Mohra Mari in the East and Main Kauntrilla in the West. It is linked from two sides; from Gujarkhan Daultala Road via Sasral and from Sohawa Chakwal Road via Dhke Amb. Traditionally almost one or more members from each family have served in the Army. Army officers produced by this Dhoke include Brigadier (R) Raja Shahid Ghani, Colonel (R) Raja Ghulam Muhammad (late), Lieutenant Colonel (R) Raja Abdul Ghani (late), Lieutenant Colonel Raja Ashfaq Ahmed Minhas and Major (R) Raja Asif Parvez Ghani, In JCOs Subedar (R) Raja Muhammad Hussain (late), Subedar (R) Raja Lal Hussain and Subedar (R) Raja Sabir Hussain. Similarly there are Other Ranks too who have rendered services in the Army.
  • Update 2. In the other ranks, Hav Raja Aurangzeb Khan, Hav raja Sangar Khan, L naik Ifikhar and and many others. Other persons who earned name in public service and addressing the peoples issues include Raja Qurban Hussain (Late) Raja Ghazanfar Hussain (late). At the time of partition in 1947, Subedar (R) Raja Muhammad Hussain (late) gave refuge in his Haveli in Dhoke Rajgan to Hindu and Sikh Families of Kauntrilla till they were escorted by Army troops for their repatriation to India.
  • Dhoke Rajgan is very well documented by Col Ishfaq. I will like to add that this small village, apart from army personnel, have produced some civilians who have served and are serving the country in their own professions. These include some PhD s like Dr. Shazia Mujtaba, Communications Associate Engineers like Raja Amir Afzal and Software Engineers Raja Shahid Sabir and Raja Bilal Afzal. Subedar Muhammad Ashraf and his son Major Waseem also belong to this fertile village.
  • Nice effort if possible our sajra be obtained and documented. Regards Brig (r) Raja Shahid Ghani
  • I have Shajra of Kauntrila's Minhas Family and adding here for general reference as proposed by Brig (R) Raja Shahid Ghani, Hope it shall be of some help to concerned people. Also would like to update that Major Waseem Ashraf has been promoted to the rank of Lt Col.
  • Assalamu Alaikum Could you upload the shajara so people can download it?
