Makwana to Jhala[edit]

Once the children of Harpaldev were playing in a yard where a furious elephant came running towards the kids. Shakti-De snatched up the kids, Snatching up in Gujarati is called "Jhallvun". Due to this event Makwanas were called Jhalas from then,^[7]^[8] and The ruler was called Jhalleshwar instead of Rajeshwar.^[9]

One of the 13 sons of Harpal dev, Bapuji married a tribal Koli women due to which he was outcasted from the family and his descendants claim to be Makwana-Kolis^[10] and were considered of low origin and couldn't be called Rajputs.^[11] Later some of the makwana-Kolis converted to Islam.^[12]
