The Awans came to Makran from Arabia, Sindh, and then the Awans settled in the Beas River and the mountain range of Shawalak for centuries. This area of Awan was called Makranian, which became Makirian after Bagr. In the 12th century AD, Chaudhry Dara Awan laid the permanent foundation of Makirian. This area was granted as a jagir by Mahmud Ghaznavi and Shahabuddin Mahmud Ghori to the Awans. At that time, there were twelve settlements of Hindu Jaral Rajputs in the vicinity of Mansoorpur. During the Mughal era, Mukhiuddin Pur Dalil, whose old name is Pujowal, was also a village of Hindu Jaral Rajputs. The Awans built an Eid mosque in this area, but the Jaral Rajputs martyred this mosque. The Awans were very sad. The Awans massacred all the Hindu Jaral Rajputs under the command of the blessed Awan Panj Dhera clan, occupied their villages and eliminated all the Jaral Rajputs. Only one Jaral Rajput Khamla woman survived who had gone to her hometown Himachal. From this woman, the Jaral lineage was reborn. Awan is a fearless, brave, courageous warrior nation. No one could defeat the Awan nation in history. Until the partition of India in 1947, more than eighty villages including Makirian were inhabited in the area of Makirian. In August 1947, when no village or city was under siege in India and Pakistan, even then no one dared to attack Makirian and other Awan villages.expedition.
