The ancestors of the Sukerchakias marched out of the mists of time moving eastwards into India and then northwards up the river valleys of the Punjab. Halted by the lower Himalayas this nomadic, martial tribe settled in a land inhabited by the indigenous Dasyus people with whom they lived in conflict for years before assimilation blurred tribal, social and cultural distinctions. They then experienced the Persian and Macedonian invasions followed by years of Mauryan peace. The Sukerchakia forefathers absorbed all these experiences and some more. They witnessed the Huns incursion into the Punjab, the advent of the Ghaznavid Turks, the rise and fall of the Khaljis, the repressions of the Tughluqs and the Lodhis and then three centuries of Mughal rule. How these tides of history influence the Sukerchakia ancestors, here after referred to as the Ancestors?how were the Ancestors shaped by centuries of alien influences, diverse customs and different creeds?
