Mohyal (alternate spellings include Muhiyal, Muhial, Mhial, Mohiyal or Mahjal) is the name of an endogamous ethnic group that originates from the Gandhara region and consists of seven Brahmin lineages of that area that left the usual priestly occupation of Brahmins long ago to serve as soldiers and in government services.
It has been observed from face book, and other forums, that young Mohyals also have a passion for Mohyaliyat and Mohyal History but do not have ready access to suitable material for their varying needs.
has been set up as an archival website for the study, research and discussion of Mohyal History. It will be a complete compendium (or a mini library) of whatever substantial has been written about our past – and a forum for recording more. Its corpus has been ‘categorized’ to provide access for ‘differing’ needs of beginners, connoisseurs and scholars. It is hoped this facility will help to strengthen the feeling of mohyaliyat in the community.
