However Jogi Aujla, Kapurthala is over 200 years old and was founded by two brothers of the Aujla clan. These brothers were Sardar Joga Singh Aujla and Sardar Banwal Singh Aujla.[4] They were the grandsons of "Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia" who had conquered Kapurthala decades before their birth. Sardar Joga Singh Aujla had twelve sons and Sardar Banwal Singh Aujla had 10 sons. Later, some of these clan members lost their status and gradually become Ahluwalia Kalal.[5]
