  Meenas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His son Maidul Rao "made a conquest of Amber from the Soosawut Meenas" whose chief was the head of the Meena confederation.
Describing the destruction of the Meena town of Naed, Tod wrote: "When this latter prince (Baharmull Cuchwaha, a contemporary of Babar and Humayun) destroyed the Meena sovereignty of Naen, he levelled its half hundred gates, and erected the town of Lohan (now the residence of a Rajawut chief) on its ruins" [Tod.II.283].
The Meenas are said to be descended from those Rajputs who, in the wars between their own tribes or with Muslims, were compelled to quit their native home and seek refuge in the vastness of Rajputana, where they formed alliances with the aboriginal families and established tribes.

Meenas knew that if he stayed in Qinassareen, he would be besieged by the Muslims and would eventually have to surrender, as at present no help could be expected from the Emperor.
With this plan in mind, Meenas attacked the Mobile Guard at Hazif with a force whose strength is not recorded; He either did not know that Khalid was present with the leading elements of the Muslim army or did not believe all that he had heard about Khalid.
The battle was still in its early stages when Meenas was killed; and as the news of his death spread among his men, the Romans went wild with fury and attacked savagely to avenge their beloved leader's death.

In view of the rising importance of Chak Guru Ramdas as a Sikh Centre it was imperative for the Bhalla families in Goindwal to give credence to some ritual that could draw sikhs to Goindwal to provide income from offerings.
Similar control of Kartarpur in the hands of Udasi followers of Baba Sri Chand was proving an irritant for Guru Angad Dev ji as indeed the control of Amritsar in the hands of Meenas or progeny of Prithi Chand.
The ideas of these places as pilgrimage centres was popularised by these dissidents to draw income from the respect the Sikhs showed to anything associated with the lives of Gurus.
