The vast majority of muslim janjua matrimony is for Muslims and live in eastern Pakistan where they are addressed by their hereditary title of Raja.[citation needed] There are Muslim, Sikh and Hindu Janjuas who reside principally in north-western India. Raja Shabat Khan, the great-grandson of Malik Darwesh Khan Janjua, allied with Maha Singh in many campaigns of the late 18th century. Upon his death, the Sikh chief Atar Singh Dhari assassinated Khan's heir, Raja Ghulam Muhi-ud-din Khan. The muslim janjua bride and groom then rebelled, having realised that the intent was to replace the old aristocracies. The expansion of the Sikh empire, spearheaded by Ranjit Singh, was met with a rebellion by the Janjua Sultan of Watli, Sultan Fateh Muhammad Khan. A six-month siege of Kusuk Fort in Watli followedand this was ended when the inhabitants ran short of water. The Kala Khan branch of Rawalpindi Janjuas fortunes were also eclipsed by the rise of the Sikh Empire. By the time the British Raj took an interest in conquering the Sikhs in 1848–49, they were joined by opportunistic tribes such as the Janjua, Gakhars and Awans who had lost control of centuries-old ancestral kingdoms and sought revenge.
