Our Village is located on GT Road and across the street from Jalandhar Cant. Most of the Jat Sikh families in Dhanowali have the surname Randhawa.

Joginder Singh Randhawa was born and raised in Dhanowali. Joginder and his younger Brother Mohinder were both farmers who worked extremely hard plowing the fields and harvesting crops. After a long days work in the hot sun they enjoyed evening gatherings with friends at the "water well". Joginder left his duty as a farmer and husband and went to war in Burma to fight the Japanese Imperial Army in World War two. Afer the war, he returned to Dhanowali and continued his farming. Joginder eventually joined the Punjab Armed Police while Mohinder contiuned his duties at the farm.

In 1956 Joginder Singh left Punjab for London. He settled in Southall and was eventually joined by his wife and 5 children (3 daugthers and 2 sons). Mohinder also settled in Southall a few years later with his wife and children. Joginder being a man of many travels, shifted his family to Canada in 1975 where he retired and raised his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Joginder passed away at the ripe age of 83 yrs old.

As they say, "The integrity of a good man ripples through the generations making the world a better place .... your examples of honesty, integrity, compassion, discipline and love are the best legacy a family can have and we will always remember you for that."

R.I.P. - Joginder Singh Randhawa and his little brother Mohinder Singh Randhawa.
