The Chahil or Chahfra Rajput tribe is now. for the greater part converted to Mullaininadanism. There are a few in the Hissar district and on the borders of Bikanir. Though Muhammadan, ' they nevertheless retain charge of the tomb of Goga Chaultan, a Hindu prince now esteems! a saint.
The Chandel Itajput tribe are scattered in various parts of the N.W. Provinces. an41 for tbe most part mac from Muhobo in Runde!Wand. Before the Muhammadan conquest, Muhobs ap pears to have been the capital of a principality that extended to the Nerbadda, and included the province of Chantlen. which is called after their name. They are styled Sombansi, but they are not considered to be of pure descent, and their sons are carefully excluded from nuuriages with the higher clans. This tribe expelled the !Wand tribe from Ajori, Iturhur, and -Mir:spore. They have many divisions, and are supposed to have come from Muhoba Bundelkhand.

There are four subdivisions of them in the Lower Doab, who suffix to their names the regal terms Rae, Rawat, Rao, and Rana.

The Bahia was an ancient tribe whose residence was the banks of the Indus, near its confluence with the Sutlej ; and although they retain a place amongst the thirty-six royal races, there is no knosvledge of runy as now existing. They are mentioned in the annala of the Matti of Jeysultnir, and from name as well as from locale, we may infer that they were the Daha of Alexander.
The Dahinia has left but the wreck of a great name. Seven centuries have swept away all re collections of a tribe who once afforded one of the proudest themes for the song of the bard. The Dahima was the lord of Biana, and one of the most powerful vassals of the Chauhan emperor, Prithi-raja. The brothers of this house held the highest offices under this monarch, and the period during which the elder, Kaimas, was his minister, was the brightest in the history of the Chauhan, but he fell a victim to a blind jealousy.
Dahit-ya.—The Komarpal Charitra classea this with the thirty-six royal races. Amongst the princes who came to the aid of Chitore, when first assailed by the anns of Islam, WAS the ' lord of Debeil, Dahir, Despati.' Dallir was the ruler of
Sind, whose tragical end in his capital, Debeil, is related by Abut Fazl. It was in the ninety-ninth year of the llijim that he ss AS attacked by- Kassim, the general of the khalif of Baghdad, and treatts1 with the greatest barbarity. Whether this prince. used Dahir RS a proper name, OF RS that of Ins tribe, must be left to conjecture.
The Dogra tribe in the N.W. of India are pre datory and pastoral. folios% ing Muhammadanism, but claiming to be Chatilian Rajputs. The other converted Chauhan, hou ever, believe them to ha. ve been Jat and Gujar. The raja of ',asinine; Is a Dogra. In the Itith century they occupied a considerable tract on the banks of the Sutlej, and made themselves formidable to the 31uhatninadan government of Del& Jharija Rajputs are dominant in Cute.h, but about A.D. 800, a branch of the family, in mat sequence of intestine feuds, crossed tIT Rums at the head of the Gulf of Cutch iuto Katiyawar, and established themselves upon the ruina of the Jetwa Rajptits, and a few petty Muhammadan chieftaincies. The lands appear to have been divided in common among the whole tribe, the teelat or eldest branch of the family reserving to itself the largest portion, while the bhaiad or relatives (brotherhood) held their respective villages by a purely feudal tenure.
The Joyha race possessed the same haunts as the Dahia, and are always coupled with them. They, however, extended across the Gharra into the northern desert of India, and in ancient chronicles are entitled Lords of Jungul-Desa, a. tract which comprehended Hurriana, Bhatnair, and Nagore. This tribe, like the Dahia, was in the beginning of the 19th century extinct.
The Macheri Rajput in Mewar were formerly turbulent.
Mohil.—All that can be learned of the past history of this race of Rajputs is that it inhabited a considerable tract so late as the foundation of the present state of Bikanir, the Rahter founders of which expelled, if not extirpated, the Mohil. With the Malun, Malani, and Mania, also extinct, it may claim the honour of descent from the ancient MaIli, the foes of Alexander, whose abode was Multan (qu. Mohil-t'han?).
