Gondal
From Jatland Wiki
Gondal (गोंडल) is Gotra of Jats. They are the people who were known in the history of Kashmir by the name Gonand. Their history is well known. They ruled over Kashmir for centuries. The name, Gonad, became Gonadal and was Sanskritised into Gonand. It is worth noting that the Nand Jats (pre-Mauryan) are now called Nandal/Nander.[1]
Some of these people call themselves descendants of the Chauhans, but others associate themselves with Lord Krishna.[2]
According to historical evidence Jarija and Yada Bhan were two brothers in the dynasty of Krishna. Jarija established his rule in Kathiawar, Gujarat. The present chieftains of Jamnagar, Dharol, Rajkot, Gonal and Morvi belonged to this very dynasty but all of, them now claim to be Rajputs.[3]
The Gondal of Rawalpindi, Cambalpur, Shapur, Mainwali are called Jats. Bosal, Tole, Jaspal, Sanatana and Gogh are branches of the Gondals.[4]
