ڈسٹرکٹ راولپنڈی میں آباد بنگیال قبیلہ ایک خالص پنوارراجپوت قبیلہ ھے یہ لوگ اپنے نام کے ساتھ(راجہ) لقب استعمال کرتے ھیں یہ لوگ راجہ بنگش خان پنوار کی اولاد ھیں جو وسطی انڈیا سے آکر پوٹھو ھار کے خطہ میں ڈسٹرکٹ راولپنڈی میں آباد ھو گیا تھا Bangial So who are the Bangial, sometimes written as Bangyal, and we have go back to my first post on the Pothohar tribes. The word al means son of in number of dialects that fall within Lahnda. According to the Bangials themselves, they are descended from a Rajah Bangash Khan, a Panwar Rajput, who arrived in the Pothohar region from central India, hence the name Bangash al, shortened to Bangyal. This Bangash Khan is also seen as ancestor by the closely related Baghial tribe. Like many of their neighbours such as the Kalyal, some groups of Bangial consider themselves as Jats, while other see themselves as Rajputs. In Gujranwala, Gujrat and Jhelum districts of Punjab, and Mirpur District of Azad Kashmir, the Bangial strongly identify themselves as Jat, and intermarry with tribes of Jat status, such as the Warriach and Tarar. But as we move towards Dina and neighbouring Gujar Khan tehsils, almost all the Bangial claim Rajput ancestry, so briefly we can summarize, that the Jhelum River divides these two groups. Looking at major Bangial villages, starting off with Rawalpindi District, we have Changa Bangial (now actually a fair sized town), Dhok Bangial, Chehari Bangial, Khalabat, Pharwal Bangial, Wasla Bangial and Dhok Bangial in Gujar Khan Tehsil, Pind Dara, Darihala Bangial, Bura Bangial, Kala Bangial and Marri Bangial in Rawalpindi tehsil, and Suhot Bangial in Kahuta Tehsil. In the neighbouring Islamabad Capital territory, they have two villages, namely Jhanga Bangial and Bora Bangial. Outside this core area, Bangial are found in Mirpur District in Azad Kashmir, several villages near the town of Sohawa in Jhelum District, the village of Nambal near Kallar Kahar, Gora Bangial in Attock District, and Bangial in Gujrat District. A small cluster of Bangial villages are found near the town of Darya Khan in Bhakkar District.
