The Bodla are found in the lower and middle Sutlej valley in Pakistan. They were at one time an entirely pastoral tribe, and are said to have come from Multan through Bahawalpur to Sahiwal.[1] They claim to have originally settled in Multan, at the time of Bahuaudin Zakariya, also a Qureshi by tribe) the famous Sufi saint. From Sahiwal, the Bodla spread to Sirsa, where they occupied the Bahak parganna, as a jagir. [2] Historically, they were found in Firozpur and Sirsa districts in modern day Indian Punjab and Haryana. In what became Pakistani territory, they were found in Sahiwal, Pakpattan and Vehari districts and Jaranwala Road in Mandi Faiz Abad. The Bodlas of the Punjab in India and Haryana moved to Pakistan, at the time of the partition of India.
According to some traditions, they had the power of curing disease by exorcism, and especially snake bites and hydrophobia. Their power of curing snake bites is associated with a historic fact. When the Prophet, and his companion Abu Bakar left Makkah, for Madinah, they concealed themselves in a cave. Abu Bakar is said to have torn his turban into rags and closed the holes with the pieces. One hole he stopped with his toe, and it was bitten by a snake. When the Prophet learned what had occurred, he cured it by sucking the wound. There is this a tradition among the Shaikh Siddiqui, that they have the power to cure snakebite.[3]
The Bodla have historically intermarried with the Wattu Rajputs, with whom they share many of their villages.
