In addition to these four clans, the Mahaar, Johiya, Wattu and Kharal clans lived in close proximity to the Pacchada and there was occasional intermarriage.
During the fifteenth- and sixteenth centuries, during the period of the Mughal empire, the Sial and Kharal tribes were dominant in parts of the lower Bari and Rachna doabs of Punjab.
With the assistance of the Kharal of Chak Jhumra, they ejected the Bhattis, and became the main tribe of the northern portion of the Sandal Bar.
