Manes (tribe)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manes is a Jat community of the Punjab region of Northern India and Pakistan

[edit] Origin

The Manes regard themselves as being the descendants of Manes, grandson of Raja Salvahan (Shalivahana) of Sialkot. However, their legends involve a war between him and the Muslims of distant Mecca. The tribe also claim to be connected to the Bhatti and Wattu Jat clans.

[edit] Geographic distribution

The Manes are found chiefly along the Deg river in the vicinity of the city of Sheikhupura in the province of Punjab (Pakistan).

[edit] Religion

Members of the tribe may belong to any of the three major religions practised in the area: Hinduism, Sikhism and Islam. However, at the time of the Partition of India, many of the Hindu and Sikh Manes emigrated to India.
