Pre-partition, many Hindu Brahmin families also lived in Miani. Authentic, documented, hand-written records of these erstwhile Hindu residents of Miani can be found in the custody of Hindu priests at Haridwar , Gaya , and Pehowa towns of India. After formation of Pakistan, these Sikhs and Hindus migrated to India and Muslims who migrated from Indian Punjab mainly from Ramba village, district Karnal settled here.
