Dhaliwal is a large Jatt clan found mainly in the Malwa portion of Punjab. It is considered to be an old Jatt clan with history dating back over 1000 years.
Dhaliwal Jats are mostly Sikhs.[2]
Dhaliwal Clan is a Jat clan. Two Ancestors of Dhaliwals are still worshipped by some Dhaliwals even today. First among them is Baba Sidh Bhoe. A Carnival (Mela) is organized every year in village of Bhammipura in Punjab in his memory. 300 years after Baba Sidh Bhoe, another Ancestor of Dhaliwal clan was born and his name was Mehar Mithe. Mehar Mithe had excellent relationship with Emperor Akbar. So much was this relationship strong that Akbar gifted 120 Pind Jagir to Mehar Mithe in the region of Kangar. Dhaliwals were powerful landlords during ancient times but their relationship with Maharaja Ranjit Singh was not good. Consequently, the Dhaliwal landlords during Maharaja Ranjit Singh's time, who were known as Dhaliwal Sardars, their relationship with maharaja ranjit singh was not too good.
