Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Dhillon are a group of people, known as a clan, who are part of the larger Jat community. A clan is like a big family or a group of families who share a common ancestor or a strong historical connection. The Dhillon clan has a long history, and its members have played a part in the story of India.

Who are the Dhillon People?

The Dhillon clan is one of many important clans within the Jat community. The Jats are a large group of people mainly found in India and Pakistan. They are well-known for their history as farmers and soldiers. Many Jats have traditionally worked on the land, growing crops and contributing to agriculture.

Where Did They Come From?

The Dhillon clan originally came from the Jodhpur region in Rajasthan, a large state in western India known for its deserts and historical forts. Over time, many Dhillon families moved from Rajasthan and settled in the Punjab region. Punjab is a fertile area in northern India and eastern Pakistan, famous for its rich farmlands and strong cultural heritage. People often move to new places looking for better land, opportunities, or sometimes due to historical events.

Where Do They Live Now?

Today, while some Dhillon families still live in Punjab, many have settled in the southern parts of Haryana. Haryana is a state in northern India, next to Punjab. You can find many Dhillon families in cities and towns like Bhiwani, Jind, Jhajjar, and Kaithal within Haryana. These areas are important for agriculture and have a vibrant community life.
