History
[edit]Goleki is situated on a picturesque landscape once surrounded by "Bella," barren land in Punjabi. The terrain is mostly flat with some variation in altitude. The first settlements were established in lower hills near the confluence of water from the Bhimber and Chenab rivers, strategically designed to appear uninhabited. The village was founded by Gola Singh, while surrounding villages were established by his siblings: Dharowal by his brother Dharo, Jassoki by his sister Jasso, and Saddoki by his brother Saddo. Historically, this village and the surrounding villages, such as, Dharowal, Saddoki, Jassoki, Mangowal Gharbi, Dinga, Chakrian, Ladha, and Ishra were named after influential Sikh Sardars.[2]
Clans
[edit]There are different tribes in the Goleki Villages but the one which is very predominant are the Sandhu Jatts. The Marhana Sandhus are a notable sub-tribe in the Goleki region, known for their deep-rooted presence, as they have not migrated from elsewhere. Historically, the Sandhus were present during significant events, such as the conversion of Gola Singh and his family. The British colonial administration recognized the influence of the Marhana Sandhus, often granting them the title of lumbardar (village head) wherever they resided. Their prominence and respect within the community were well established during both pre- and post-colonial periods.. Also the Sandhu Jatts are the second largest Muslim Jatt Caste in Punjab. The other types of Jatts that you might find in Goleki will be Ranjha, Gondals, and Warriach. You may find Some, Gujjars, Tarkhans, or Butts but they are in very few numbers.[3]

Molvi Imam-ud-Din seems to have brought Ahmadiyya to Goleki in the 1920’s, he returned to Qadian in 1928. However, the Ahmadi Muslim are being persecuted by the Punjab police due to their sect[4]. And officially 35 Families left Ahmediya and accepted Islam in 2021. The village of Goleki has a rich religious history deeply influenced by Sufism, particularly the Qadiriyya order.
