History of Maken:
Originally Maiken came from another village called Kot Bhai Khan da in Sargodha in the early Mughal era around 500 years ago. The Makin people got a lot of land at this place and settled here and the village was named Maken. As at that time there was no security and many times they were lotted from thieves and robbers. So for their security they brought other casts like Bhatti from Pindi-Bhattian and Gondal from Kot Moumman. And Makens then gave some lands to these people (Bhatti and Gondal). Since then this village has 3 main casts in the village, Maken, Bhatti, Gondal. There lived also some other casts like Muuchi, Tarkan (Mughal) etc. The literacy rate of this village is average.

بہت اچھی کاوش ہے ۔اپنے گاؤں میکن کے قابل عزت اور قابل فخر لوگوں کے بارے میں جان کر بہت خوشی ہوئی ہے اس سے پتہ چلتا ہے کہ ہمارے گاؤں کے لوگ کتنے محنتی اور قابل ہیں۔ ایڈ منز کو چاہیے کہ وقت کے ساتھ ساتھ اس کو مزید اپڈیٹ کرتے رہے تاکہ پہلے جن اعلیٰ شخصیات کے نام شامل نہیں ہوسکے ان کے نام بھی اس لیسٹ میں شامل کیے جائیں
Site must be updated impersonally,those who represent the village across the district as well as within vicinity should be mentioned.unprejudiced admin is required.
