Loggerjack (talk | contribs) Marek, your initial impulse was correct: the anon replaces an old (possibly erroneous) opinion by a genetic piece (possibly correct) that says nothing of Johal |

The Johal clan, moved into central Asia, from North West Punjab. |

Recent Genetic has proven Indian tribes migrated into Central Asia, West Asia and Europe. Sahoo et al; ″The perennial concept of people, language, and agriculture arriving to India together through the northwest corridor does not hold up to close scrutiny. Recent claims for a linkage of haplogroups J2, L, R1a,and R2 with a contemporaneous origin for the majority of the Indian castes’ paternal lineages from outside the subcontinent are rejected, although our findings do support a local origin of haplogroups F* and H. They also rule out arrivals from Southwest Asia because West Asian haplogroups (like Y-Hg G) are not found in India″. <ref>http://www.pnas.org/content/103/4/843.short</ref> |

The IBM Genographic Project, undertook a six year study into human migration. ″The researchers found that Indian populations had more genetic diversity - which gives an indication of the age of a population - than either Europeans, Central Asians or East Asians″.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15565654</ref> |

Most Johals are Sikhs while some are Muslims, Hindus and Christians.[citation needed]
Lineage
There is an opinion that Johals(Jouhals) are direct descendent's of Hepthalites, also known as White Huns. White Huns were a division of the Massagetae, who invaded North India during AD 460-470. Thomas Watters (British Acting Consul General in Korea from (1887–1888) [51] writes "----country (North-West of India) was conquered by the Yeta (White Huns), i.e., the Yets or Gats apparently near the end of our fifth century. The Yeta, who were a powerful people in Central Asia, in the fifth century, are also said to have been of the Yue-Chi (Kushan) stock---". The leader of the White Huns called "Toramana" was throned in AD 495 and established his capital at Sakala (modern Sialkot, Punjab). According to Inscriptions, the full name of the king was Maharaja ("Great King) Toramana Shaha JAUVLA (Jauhal).
Later, In A.D. 510, Mihirakula succeeded his father as the "Great" king. Sir Cunningham says Jauvla was the name of their tribe or clan. According to him, the name of the Jabuli tribe of the White Huns is still preserved in Zabulistan (land of Jauvla, today's Zabul) and their language called "Zauli" also still existed in the tenth century AD [45]. Furthermore, White Huns or Jauvla are the direct ancestors of dark-age times Jat clan name called "Jauhla" and modern days "Johals". In AD 520 Mihirakula succeeded his father Toramana Jauvla. In turn Mihirakula was succeeded by his son called Ajitanjaya and after the disintegration of their Indian empire the Jauvala or Johals secured for themselves Zabulistan or Jabulistan. It is interesting to note the remarks of Sir Cunningham [45] concerning the reading of a coin of White Huns "But in the two Pahlavi legends of the reverse I read on the left ----and to the right Zaulistan (Jaulistan)". This says it very well that the actual name is "Jaulistan" (land of Jauls or Johals) instead of "Zabulistan".[1]
