salaam dosto,
kaise mizaaj haiN?

i watch quite a bit of news on quite a few Pakistani channels. i always hear unusual surnames on the news but the one i heard today caught my attention and made me curious enough to make this thread.

i saw Mr. Iqbal Zafar JhagRaa talking on TV.

what caste does he belong and why would someone have such a surname as “JhagRaa”…i’m wonder if the kids having such last names are teased/mocked around in schools. who are these people with last name “JhagRaa”?

i would greatly appreciate if some one could explain. thank you.

regards

I don’t think this is a caste. He is a Pashtun, no such caste there.

hmmm…i’ve never heard such a last name…let’s see if any other Gappy or Gappan will be able to shed some light. i’m pinning my hope on Muqwee though! :slight_smile:

I have worked with a guy who was the grandson of jhagra, according to him they were Pashtuns.

the wiki article says that Kashyap Rajputs include some Afghan clans as well. so there might be some Pashtun link
