Ghorewaha

Ghorewaha (pronounced "Gohraywaha") claim to be a sub-clan of Rajputs in India and Pakistan who regard themselves as descendants of Raja Hawaha (also spelt "Ahwaha"), who, according to their claim, became recognized for his equestrian prowess, hence the name "Ghorewaha" or "expert equestrian".

According to A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province, a source whose authenticity is uncertain, the Ghorewaha are the oldest Rajput rulers of the Punjab. They lived primarily in the districts of Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahar and Jalandhar of the Punjab before partition of the British Indian Empire in 1947. Since the majority of Ghorewahas converted to Islam, most migrated to Pakistan after partition in 1947, although the ones who remained Hindu continued to live on their ancestral estates in the new Republic of India.

Ghorewahas usually prefix or postfix the titles 'Raja', 'Rai', 'Rana' or 'Chaudhry' with their names. Previously, they also used the title 'Mian' but abandoned use of the same when non-Rajputs, such as the Arain, adopted it.
