Two Jat Sikh Shahi brothers, Deva and Lakha, moved in the mid-19th century from a village called Hargana[2] in the Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab. In Hargana, Shahi families belong to both Sikh and Hindu religions.[3] Since the 1960s, descendants of Deva and Lakha have migrated within India (Samalkha, Haryana and Kolkata) and to other countries; Arusha in Tanzania, the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia.[citation needed]
