History
Mandra was founded by descendants of General Zarab Khan. There were three brothers looking for a fertile land to settle traveling from the mountains of Kahuta and then they settled there which was the beginning of the reign of Jasgam (Jaskham) Rajputs in the area of Tehsil Gujarkhan. The family has contributed a lot for the locals such as first government hospital was opened by them and got the bill passed from the high court and the family is also active in community service. After independence in 1947 they gave lands to muhajarins to settle. As per tribe's history and norms, Jasgams use the title of Raja. They helped other homeless people to settle and give them shelter. Today among Mandra's most prominent people are the Rajput's as they own most of the land and markets in the Main Baazaar and are very active in politics.
