Ghorewahas (or Gorewaha) are Kachwaha Rajputs. "They say that Raja Man Singh , sixth in descent from Kush (one of the sons of Lord Ram), had two sons Kachwaha and Hawaha, and that they are of the lineage of Hawaha (161).They used to live in the districts of Hosiarpur and Jalandher before partition. Many of them belong to Islam, and therefore had to migrate to Pakistan. The famous chief justice of Pakistan, Iftikhar Chaudhary, belongs to this clan. They use Rana as their family title.
History
The Ghorewahas were found in the greatest number in the south and cast of the Nawashahr Tahsil, as well as in the adjoining Garhshankar Tahsil of Hoshiarpur, but they also hold estates in the east of the Phillaur Tahsil , and the Grand Trunk Road between Phagwara and Phillaur may be regarded as approximately the boundary betweeen them and the Manj Rajputs. They are proprietors or part proprietors of Rahon , Nawashar, Gunachaur, Jadala,Awar, Baglaur,Hion, Kamam, Naubra, Apra, Massani, Indina and other places of less importance. The Nawashahr and Phillaur Ghorewahas give almost the same account of their arrival in this country. In Sambat 1130 or 1131 two brothers, Ahwaha or Hawaha and Kachwaha, sons of Raja Man, came from Kot K urman or Kurwan on a pilgrimage to Jawala Mukhi. Near Arak or Rakh, a place in Ludhiana, close to Rupar , they met shahabuddin Ghori, who was then the ruling monarch. They had a fine horse which they presented to the king , who , in return , gave each as much country as he could ride round in a day. Hawaha took this side of tht Sutlej, and K achwaha the other side , and at night fall the former threw down his spear, where is now the village of Selkiana , to show the limit of his domina while the latter marked the spot where he had arrived at by his bracelet , on the site of the present village of Kangananwal. After this Kachwaha returned to Udaipur , but Hawaha stayed here and held both territories.
