The Jarrals refused to cooperate with the Dogras and fought many battles against the Dogra Army, creating havoc. The Dogras then sought British help and the Dynasty came to an end. The ruling Jarral families were exiled and moved to Wazirabad in Punjab by the British. These Jarrals' also developed some big personalities in Pakistan throughout the years that followed.
