Re: Dharti maan
^ Indian Punjab Hindus would also be abroad, but the sardars are easy to spot.
There is always doubt on kashmiris, Dardics are essentially kashmiris and majority of them are in Indian Kashmir, many of the titles are common between Jammuites and Kashmiris though, so I am never sure of who is kashmiris:D
I was thinking about Sheikhs, as there were quite a few in my town. It seems they are also Kashmiris, and their girls, dont ask me…
Kashmiri Shaikh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kashmiri Shaikh (Urdu : کشمیری شيخ ) mainly live in Kashmir regions of Pakistan and India . The Kahmiri Shaikhs are considered to be a clan of Punjabi Muslims of Kashmiri origin found predominantly in Pakistan Punjab and also in India .
After the advent of Islam into Afghanistan and South Asia , a significant number of Hindu Brahmins converted to Islam and adopted the title of Shaikh .The largely belonged to Kaul,Bhatt or Sapru clans.In Punjab , they are known as Kashmiri Shaikh. The Kashmiri Shaikhs are mostly urban and do not practice agriculture.
Kashmiri Shaikh’s of Kotli are living in the Sarhota and Karthoth region of Kotli . They have been settled there for many years, currently some people of the Sarhota/Karthoth area are known as Butt, but they are all descendants of the Shaikh tribe regardless of the fact that they call themselves Butt etc. today.

'According to the census return the number of Kashmiri Musulmans , who make up 60% of the inhabitants of the Jhelum valley, was 765,442. They are no doubt mostly descendants of various Hindu castes, perhaps in the main of Hill Brahmans , but Islam has wiped out all tribal distinctions.[SUP][1]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmiri_Shaikh#cite_note-0 )[/SUP]

55,000 even after genocide is impressive number and I doubt this source but don’t discard it as I don’t have any data against it.
Lahoris use Majhi dialect, similar to that of Amritsar wala, most weirdest of all:D
