Makwana to Jhala
editOnce the children of Harpaldev were playing in a yard where a furious elephant came running towards the kids. Shakti-De snatched up the kids, Snatching up in Gujarati is called "Jhallvun". Due to this event Makwanas were called Jhalas from then,[7][8] and The ruler was called Jhalleshwar instead of Rajeshwar.[9]
One of the 13 sons of Harpal dev, Bapuji married a tribal Koli women due to which he was outcasted from the family and his descendants claim to be Makwana-Kolis[10] and were considered of low origin and couldn't be called Rajputs.[11] Later some of the makwana-Kolis converted to Islam.[12]
Jhala dynasty of Gujarat
editAfter the fall of Makwana dynasty of Sindh, Harpaldev Makwana moved to Gujarat and established the Jhala dynasty (Zalawad/Jhalavad) in the year 1093. Jhalas were vassal Rulers under Chaulukyas and Vaghelas. In 1460's Zalawad was divided into Halvad-Dhrangadhra and Limdi states but Limbdi remained as a vassal of Halvad-Dhrangadhra state.
