Beniwal

The Beniwal were a Jat clan in Jangladesh, in what is now northern Rajasthan. Their chief Raisal made Raslana their seat, and in 1337 they held the tract around the future town of Rawatsar.

In the fifteenth century Rao Bika's Rathore coalition overran Jangladesh, forcing the Beniwal chiefs to accept the suzerainty of Bikaner. Their prolonged resistance to the Rathores in the following century earned them a reputation as warriors.
