History of the name Sudhnuti
editThe known history of Sidhnuti, whose earlier name was Bhan, dates back to 830 AD Iqbal Darwish, a well-known historian of Siddhnauti, writes in Siddhnauti History that in the 8th century AD, Siddhnauti was ruled by regular Hindu Brahmins. After which the condition of the Brahmins became worse. Historian Fazlahi writes in Sardaran Sidhnuti that the knowledge of the Sidhans is known through awareness. When most of the Afghan chieftains moved from Afghanistan to India in the 14th century AD, among them Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan Saduzai along with three hundred warriors and two hundred women of his tribe, camped in Rawalpindi from different parts of India. The Brahmins of Bhan Sidhnuti who had been persecuted by the Bhagar Rajputs for a long time. They brought this Afghan Nawab to attack the Baghars and Ghaghars occupying their country. So the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan attacked (Bhan Sidhnuti) and defeated the Baghars and Ghaghars, after which the Brahmins gave Jassi Khan the title of Sidhan on the coronation of Nawab Jissi Khan at Sidhnuti.Which means brave and just. After the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan gained government control over Bhan, the name was changed from Bhan to Sidhnuti, which means the place of Sidhu's stay.This well-known name Sudhnuti is also recorded in the first Indian census of 1881History of the Muslim Nations of Punjab was written by British officer Lt. Col. JM Wakely when Poonch was part of the British province of Punjab and the Insaf Kot of Poonch was also in Lahore, Punjab. Books were written containing the information obtained from the census of Punjabi Muslims. In which he assigns the name of Sidhnuti to Nawab Jassi Khan, he writes that here Sidhnuti was formerly ruled by Brahmins from whom the Bhagars and Ghaghars had taken away their government and occupied their country. So the Brahmins brought the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan Saduzai to attack the Bhagars, after which the Afghan Nawab attacked the Bhagars and defeated them and established his government here.The British Lt. Weekley, the author of Kitab Punjab Muslim, writes that after the coronation of the government of Nawab Jassi Khan Saduzai, the Brahmins gave him the title of Sadhan, which means brave and just. So after that the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan Sidhuzai took control of the government at Bhan and changed its name from Bhan to Sidhnuti which means the place of settlement of Sadhus. [8][9] [10] [11]
