Gondal is a Jat clan and a surname of Punjabis in Pakistan, mainly found in Gujrat, Sargodha and Mandi Bahauddin districts of Punjab. [1] [2] [3]
In the early 18th century, Gondals resided in the tract of land between Jhelum and Chenab, roughly from present-day Shahpur to Gujrat. In his Nadir Shah di Vaar , Gondals are mentioned by the poet Najabat, who witnessed the invasion of Nadir Shah in 1739, to be one of the several Punjabi tribes who confronted the Persian army under their leaders Dilloo and Saidoo and did not allow it to pass through Gondal Bar, hence saving it from the devastation which fell upon Gakhars, Khattars and Ghebas: [4] [5]

The soil of the Bar Region is fertile. The plains of fertile land have been created by the stream deposits driven by the many rivers flowing from the Himalayas.

They lived beside a bend in the River Jhelum which was a suitable, sheltered location. They spent six months in the area and then went back to their native areas for the winter season. Later Marth and other Gondal (clan) families came from the Sohawa and Jehlum side area near Mandi Bahauddin and started cultivating the land, building temporary houses.
