Distribution
The Hindu branch of the tribe is still settled in Jalandhar, Patiala and Nabha, in India. Prior to partition of India, there were with some villages in Lahore,((Faisal Abad)),((Bahawal Nagar)),Sargodha)) and Sialkot in Pakistan. Post partition, the Muslim Varya from Gurdass pur India have settled in Faisalabad,((Bahwal Nagar)), Sahiwal, Okara, Gujrat and Sargodha districts in Punjab, Pakistan. Lineage The modern Jat tribe of Gills are lineage from the King or Raja, Prithipat of Garh Mathila who was a Waryah Rajput. Thus, the Jat tribe of Gills is believed to fit under the branch of a predecessor umbrella Gill tribe that ranged from Central Asia through modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North Western India. This tribe according to sources below is believed to have been of either Indo-Iranian origins from Central Asia, (specifically Scythian or Saka from their home on the Oxus, or possibly White Huns or Yuezhi) or a mixed Indo-Scythian and Greek tribe. The Indo-Scythian/Greek mix theory is due in part to tradition passed down through the tribe for over the last millennia as well as the timeframe in which Scythians/Yuezhi/White Huns which were competing Central Asian tribes of Indo-European descent settled in Asia and established kingdoms, such as the Indo-Scythian kingdom, and the geographical and chronological range of this settlement coinciding with Alexander the Great's invasion with his Greek army.
Waryah is a Rajput clan named after King (Raja) Waryah. In Pakistan Waryah Rajputs are settled in northern and southern Punjab and some parts of Sindh province. Nowadays most Waryah are living in Sialkot, Gujarat. Sargodha, Sheikhopura, Multan, Bahawalpur and Layyah districts of Punjab. Waryah Rajputs, who are living in Sialkot, claimed that they are great grand children of Raja Dossal. It is likely however that Raja Prithipat was a Gill himself, rather than simply marrying a Gill woman, and had the Waryah Rajput label only attributed to him later on.
The main lineages
The Rajputs are divided into clans, each clan belonging to one of three basic lineages (vanshas or vamshas):
The Suryavanshi lineage, claiming descent from Surya, the Hindu Sun god. In English it is known as the Solar Dynasty; The Chandravanshi lineage, or Lunar dynasty lineage claims descent from Chandra (the moon or Budh). The Chandravanshi lineage is known as the Lunar Dynasty in English; The Yaduvanshi lineage are a major sub-branch of the Chandravanshi lineage. Lord Krishna was born a Yaduvanshi. The Puruvanshi lineage are a major sub-branch of the Chandravanshi Rajputs. The Kauravs and Pandavs of the epic poem Mahabharata were Puruvanshis. The Agnivanshi lineage claims descent from Agni, the Hindu god of fire. Four main Rajput clans are considered to be Agnivanshi. They are Chauhans, Paramara, Solanki and Pratiharas. Clan organization
Maharana Pratap, was a Sisodia ruler
Each of these Vanshas or lineages is divided into several clans (kula), all of whom claim direct patrilineage from a remote but common male ancestor who supposedly belonged to that Vansha. Some of these 36 main clans are further subdivided into shakhas or “branches”, again based on the same principle of patrilineage.
Each shakha or basic sub-clan has its individual genealogical creed, describing the essential peculiarities, religious tenets, and original domicile of the clan. This creed is a touchstone of traditional affinities and provides all information governing the laws of intermarriage.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
