The history of this amazing site is very interesting, Sir Lepel H. Griffin writes that Padhana village was founded by Changa 13th in descend from Sindhu. Sirdar Sadho Singh, Padhania was one of the principal Jat families of the Manjha belonging to Sindhu clan. Its founder Sindhu migrated from Ghazni in 13th century to the Manjha and settled there. Changa 13th in descend from Sindhu was an influential Chaudhary.
He was the chief of thirty Jat Chaudharies and headman who went on the mission to the emperor Akbar, to arrange the marriage of that monarch with a daughter of Mir Mitta Dhariwal, a Zamindar of Dowla Kangra, near Wadni in Firozpur district. Akbar was impressed with the bravery of the girl and wished to marry her, but her father declined the honour, without the consent of his caste. He assembled a committee of 71 lambardars and Chaudharies, 35 Jats and 36 Rajputs, to decide the question. The Rajputs considered the alliance disgraceful; but the Jats with Changa at their head, approved of it and marriage took place. (This story by Griffin is not believable).
