Jandiala is a village in Jalandhar district in the Indian state of Punjab.

Jandiala is a village in Jalandhar district in the Indian state of Punjab. Jandiala is also known as Jandiala Manjki, (A part of a small area known as Manjki region). Jandiala is a big village as compared to the surrounding villages. Jandiala is located at the centre of a circle with its curvature passing through many major towns such as Nakodar (14Km), Jalandhar (20Km), Phagwara (14Km), Goraya (12Km), Phillaur(21Km) and Nurmahal (8Km) The village Jandiala now looks like a city. There were mandis of dozens of surrounding villages. As a result, the municipality was formed by the British government in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, but due to strong opposition from the people, it was disbanded in 1872. However, in 1998, the Punjab government issued a notification to the Nagar Panchayat But then similar protests arose and within four years the Nagar Panchayat was dissolved. As a result, Jandiala was once again deprived of urban amenities. It is generally believed that the reason for the protest was the imposition of excise duty on imported goods. But some believe that this village of patriots believes in a complete people's system and when the bureaucracy prevailed due to the Nagar Panchayat, the villagers did not like it. Some politicians, through village shopkeepers, had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court to have the notification canceled. Well-meaning people don't like it. Jandiala, one of the largest villages in the Doaba, now has a panchayat, but its sarpanch is recognized equal to an MLA.

Jandiala's revenue records show that the total area of ownership of the village is 3399 acres out of which (according to the figures of 2006 census) the village is situated on sixty one acre and farming is done on two thousand nine hundred and eighty nine acres. Thirty-five acres is ‘Barani’ and two thousand nine hundred and ninety-four acres are ‘Chahi’. Of this, one hundred and sixty-seven acres are Mushtaraka and one hundred and eighty-two acres are owned by the Panchayat. According to CENSUS 2006, the total number of houses is 1666..

The people of Jandiala believe that the foundation stone of Jandiala Manjki was laid in 1426 by a Johal Jatt named Ladha. His nephew Dhunni was also with him at the time. But some believe that the navel came much later. When Ladha settled down, he had laid the foundation of his ‘dera’(Camp) with a ‘Jand tree’ which was called ‘Morhi Gadna’. Due to this, the name of Ladha Johal's dera became Jandwala. The Jand tree, which was gutted by lightning many years ago, is still standing, but after many years, it started turning green again. Pipple has also sprouted in the Jand, which was struck by lightning. According to legend, this Jand tree has withered many times in the past centuries. People believe this myth to be true because the present event has happened before their eyes.

After all, the story of the migration of the Johals goes back to Central Asia, but the Johals of Jandiala consider their former settlement to be the village of Dhaleke near Moga. Some of the families who had come up from village Dhaleke had settled at Thabalke village, about two and a half kilometers from the present Jandiala. The village is still inhabited but not as flourishing as Jandiala even though there is a railway station. The story of coming from Thabalke to Jandiala is very interesting. Residents believe that they used to give more milk when their elders used to graze their milch cattle on this side. He also realized the secret that the water of a large pond (dhab) built on this place is very beneficial. The mound came to be known as the 'Baan wala Chhaparh' and is still maintained by the villagers. Then some of them settled down nearby. The rest of Johal remained there whose heirs are still living there.

The people of Jandiala are politically, educationally and economically strong and conscious. Jandiala is a revolutionary village from the very beginning. The village played an important role in the freedom struggle and produced prominent political leaders. Jandiala is the only village in India where two flags were hoisted in the village square called ‘Jhandian wala chowk’. A red flag with hammer and sickle (Communist Party of India) and another tri colour flag (Congress Party). The two flags are about five feet apart. Jandiala has produced 81 patriots. Baba Lal Singh, Baba Dhian Singh, Baba Waryam Singh, Baba Gurdit SinghAnd Baba Puran Singh's sacrifices made the Ghadar movement even brighter. Munsha Singh Dukhi was from here that he got the taste of patriotism. He touched the hearts of Punjabis through revolutionary poems. Bhai Chanchal Singh is a prominent name associated with the Babbar Akali movement. Bhai Sher Singh, Jagjit Singh Jaggi, Bhai Joginder Singh, Baba Lachhman Singh, Lala Pars Ram, Jai Singh, Kartar Singh Kirti, Hazara Singh Kainth who fought in the Jaito Morcha, made important contributions in the freedom struggle.

No one has yet been able to grasp the secret of Jandiala's freedom fighters. Fifty freedom fighters are fighting in one of the six Patti’s of the village, while one in one Patti and not one in the other, even though that Patti is very small called Mohanpurian. There was a stark difference between the political understanding of the people on the east and the west. The Patti that produces fifty freedom fighters is called Barri Patti.

Prominent economist, agronomist and former Vice Chancellor of Punjabi University Patiala Dr. Sardara Singh Johal rose to international prominence from the streets of Jandiala.

This family has made a significant contribution to the freedom struggle. The late Pritam Singh Khalsa and the late Comrade Jeet Singh of this family, who had settled in Pilibhit in the seventies, took part in the freedom struggle. The ‘Khara Khooh’ and the ‘Jhandian wala chowk’ have been the center of politics. The village contributed to almost all national independence movements. Any Jatha to take part in any morcha were begin from 'Jhandian Wala Chowk' Were the red and tricolor flags are still flying at the same time in this square.

Modern humans arrived on the Indian subcontinent from Africa no later than 55,000 years ago. Their long occupation, initially in varying forms of isolation as hunter-gatherers, has made the region highly diverse, second only to Africa in human genetic diversity. Settled life emerged on the subcontinent in the western margins of the Indus river basin 9,000 years ago, evolving gradually into the Indus Valley Civilisation of the third millennium BCE. By, an archaic form of Sanskrit, an Indo-European language, had diffused into India from the northwest. (a) (b) (c), "In Punjab, a dry region with grasslands watered by five rivers (hence ‘panch’ and ‘ab’) draining the western Himalayas, one prehistoric culture left no material remains, but some of its ritual texts were preserved orally over the millennia. The culture is called Aryan, and evidence in its texts indicates that it spread slowly south-east, following the course of the Yamuna and Ganga Rivers. Its elite called itself Arya (pure) and distinguished themselves sharply from others. Aryans led kin groups organized as nomadic horse-herding tribes. Their ritual texts are called Vedas, composed in Sanskrit. Vedic Sanskrit is recorded only in hymns that were part of Vedic rituals to Aryan gods. To be Aryan apparently meant to belong to the elite among pastoral tribes. Texts that record Aryan culture are not precisely datable, but they seem to begin around 1200 BCE with four collections of Vedic hymns (Rg, Sama, Yajur, and Artharva)."
