The ilaqa of Mallanwala (Tehsil Zira) was part of the Dogar territory. The village of Mallanwala Khas was located by a Dogar chief, named Malla. On the irruption of the Sikhs, about 1760, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia took possession of it, together with the surrounding villages, which since that time had been known as a separate ilaqa. The Ahluwalia family retained possession of this ilaqa with the exception of a few villages which were taken from them by Ranjit Singh, until the Satluj Campaign (1845-46) when British took over.
