Editorial Note

My name is Sewa Singh Sohal and it had been my dream since leaving the Panjab for the UK in the 1960’s to write a history of Atta, my pind (village), as a permanent memory for anyone with family from Atta, as well as anyone else who may have an interest. The first 5 versions of this book were written in Panjabi in paperback format with the original version going back to 2008. Copies of this book have been made available at no cost on request to hundreds of people across India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Italy and of course the UK. Over the past decade or so, there have been ongoing requests for an English translation of the book, to enable those more comfortable with English to access the information. This e-book has therefore been created to meet these requests and will be available again for free for those that wish to read it. I initially started to research the Sohal family history of Atta, the village of my birth in Panjab, India. I made several visits to the holy city of Haridwar to collect historical records. I also obtained details from both the Jalandhar and Phillaur land registry offices. Later I focused on researching the history of all families from Atta. My ambition is fulfilled with the grace of all mighty God.

I dedicate this book to my late father S. Mehanga Singh Sohal and mother Nasib Kaur, whose blessings enabled me to succeed in every field of my life. I hope all the people from my village enjoy reading about their family history.

This book has been edited by the Author’s children, Gurdish Kaur, Gurvin Kaur, Baljit Singh and Taranjit Singh alongside grandchildren, Annissa Kaur Sandhu and Rayyan Singh Sandhu. This publication is based on correct records as at August 2017.

From Atta, Panjab, to Bradford, Yorkshire

I am the eldest son of Mehanga Singh Sohal and was born on 16th of November 1943, in the village called Atta. In the wake of the introduction of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 of the United Kingdom, I obtained an employment voucher to gain entry in Britain. I left my

4

graduate studies part way in Panjab and on the 28th of April 1963 reached Bradford, West Yorkshire, with three British pounds in my pocket. There was a shortage of work in England at that time and it was very difficult to find a job. I felt resentful that despite my good level of education I was required to carry out grimy and intense jobs in hot and inhumane working conditions. By 1965, the work situation had improved. I worked in various engineering firms and on the buses. My last employer was Allied Colloids, where I worked for 22 years before deciding to retire at the age of 56. I am proud of making a very comfortable and successful life for myself and my family. My wife, Avtar Kaur, and I have devoted our lives to educating our two sons and two daughters to degree level. They are well settled in their professional careers, are home owners with substantial financial standing. My charitable service within the Sikh community started in May 2001 when I was elected as President of the Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara in Bradford. I proactively conducted my work with honesty and dedication, and then for the past sixteen years I have carried out the role of auditor at the Gurdwara. I continue to maintain my links with relatives in India and I have authored “My Village My People,” an account of my village. Britain is a world-class country and is now my homeland. I am fortunate to have arrived and settled in the United Kingdom at that time and have no regrets what-so-ever with leaving the Panjab fifty-four years ago. Whilst India remains my country of origin, the future of our children is bright here. I appreciate the law and order, discipline and the way in which citizens are supported, compared with many other countries across the world. Direct racial discrimination is negligible and statutory authorities attempt to ensure equality in opportunities.

Atta Village.

Village Atta was established in around 1780. The original name of the village was Atalgarh. Its name was eventually changed to Atta. The village has a population of 3000 people and a land area of 870 acres. The village is located at a distance of 0.45km from the (GT) Road, and Goraya city is 1.5km from Atta. There are two main gates built on GT Road to enter the village. The first gate was built in 1986 in the memory of Seth Ram Singh by his sons: Rattan Chand, Madan Lal and Dharam Pal.

Sohal Jatt Farmers Community in Atta

A few centuries ago people with the surname Sohal, who were originally Chohan Rajputs from the Rajisthan state of India, travelled to Panjab in search of employment and rich agricultural farming land. The Sohal surname can be found in three different communities in Panjab: 1) Jatt, 2) Carpenters and 3) Potters. The Sohals that settled in Atta in 1790 belong to Jatt farmer families and came from the village Atholla, in the Kapoorthala District. There are a few villages in Panjab named Sohal: 1) Sohal-Khalsa is situated 8km from Shahkot, 2) Sohal-Jagir is located near the Pandori village, 3) Sohal-Khurd is situated near Nakodar, 4) Sohalpur is 4km from Bhogpur, 5) Sohal-thathi is 17km from Taran-Taran, 6) Sohal village is 1km from Sheenna, 7) Sangal Sohal is located at 6km from Jalandhar City. Now I will explain the circumstances in which the Sohal family said goodbye to Atholla to live permanently in Atta. S. Sahu Singh Sohal was a military man who had a small farm in Atholla. He was married to a woman from the Barapind village near to Atta. With the support of his in-laws he took over a large farming area which was unoccupied in Atta. Within a few years of hard work and with the help of his two young sons and relatives the deserted land was turned into cultivating land, and a water-well was installed to irrigate the crops. S. Sahu Singh then built a large house in Atta. After a few years of occupation of this farming land he acquired ownership land registry in his name by the authorities at that time. Sahu Singh and his sons sold the land from his previous place of residence, Atholla. S. Sahu Singh had two sons: 1) Nanak Singh and, 2) Dasonda Singh. Dasonda Singh had two sons: 1) Jiwan Singh and 2) Khiwan Singh. Jiwan Singh Sohal had nine sons. Three of them were married, and six of them joined the Sikh army and were not married: 1) Diwan Singh, 2) Sujan Singh, 3) Bir Singh, 4) Wajir Singh, 5) Gian Singh, 6) Dhani Singh. Jiwan Singh’s three sons were married: 1) Rann Singh, 2) Dhian Singh, 3) Dial Singh. Rann Singh, son of Jiwan Singh, had four sons: 1) Mehtab Singh, 2) Harnam Singh, 3) Suba Singh, 4) Buta Singh. Mehtab Singh, son of Rann Singh, then had three sons: Mayia Singh, Ghannia Singh and Thakar Singh. Mayia Singh had two sons, Udham Singh and Hansa Singh. He also had two daughters: Esri was married in Mahalan and Hukam Dai was married in Danduwal. Hansa Singh was not married. Udham Singh was married to Karam Kaur from Haripur Khalsa. They had four sons: Bawa Singh, Bhagat Singh, Mohinder Singh and Jarnail Singh. They also had a daughter, Prito who was married in Partapura. Bawa Singh was married to Harbans Kaur from Bikka. He had three sons, Ranjit Singh, Harpal Singh and Gurdev Singh. They also had two daughters, Surinder Kaur

13

who was married in Mehliana and Balbir Kaur who was married in Puadharha. Ranjit Singh’s first marriage was in Kotli and he had a daughter from that marriage.
