The Sohlan are a Rajput tribe connected with the Narma.
They are said to be of Panhwar Rajput descent which is a sub-branch of the Paramara Raputs.
The Muslim section is found chiefly in the Mirpur District of Azad Kashmir, with small numbers found in Jhelum and Gujrat Districts.
They are culturally close to the Narma Rajputs.
Their areas include Bani (Mirpur), Ghaseetpur Sohalian, Mehmunpur, Dalyala, New Jabot and Sahang which are the centres of the tribe in Mirpur District.
These mainly centre around Khari Sharif which has historically been ruled by this family.
Since the development of the Mangla Dam, old Jabot Village was submerged underwater causing many families to move back to Khari Sharif, the ancestral area of the clan and to set up New Jabot.
