Mandahars

   A warrior tribe settled in Kaithal and the surrounding tract during the 13th century. In late 1280, Jalal al-Din Khalji (later Jalal al-Din Firuz Khalji), then muqti' of Kaithal, was wounded while conducting operations against the Mandahars. The Mandahars continued to defy the central authority until the beginning of 16th century.
