Publisher's Synopsis
This book, Halakundi & Halahs in Historical Perspective, is the history of a town Halakundi and Hallah tribe which is the clan of the Jats, and who in Sindh (Pakistan) are concentrated mostly in Hala and its vicinity. ). I personally belong to Hala tribe of Hala town. While writing this article, which I took as a sacred duty; I have traced their history and ancestral background of Halas to period of Holy Christ. There are different opinions of the researches about the origin of Halakundi and Hala tribe but, it is likely that Hala Tribe came to known before 1203 AD i.e. 600 Hijri. My research proves its origin existed to almost days of Christ probably followers of Raja Hall around 69 AD (126 Vikram), and its Genealogical History may trace to Hazrat Adam (The first ever known human being on earth). In this book (Chapter-11), I have given about 09 different geological trees as written by the researchers of geological studies in their books, which I believe can be useful of students of geological studies. Hala town is named after Hala tribe, and is situated to left bank of Indus River at distance of 36 miles in Hyderabad city. It was built 1800 A.D with name as Muslimabad but later changed to "Hala new". It is a Literary, Religious and Spiritual town, and is also famous in the subcontinent for its Craft & Art work for Pottery, Wood, special type of Cloth printing and Cloth Weaving in beautiful designs. While writing this book I have tried to trace history and ancestral tree of Hallahs. How far I have been successful, the readers will judge but I hope that some one else in future, will further add and improve history of this tribe / clan.
