I’m glad I started this thread…got a wide variety of responses :k:

My parents’ dialect is similar to (and may very well be) what is termed “hindko.” Their way of speaking Punjabi is quite different than the way, say, Lahoris speak Punjabi. My extended family is from Chakwal which is near Rawalpindi in northern Punjab.

Like I mentioned, I am Awan from dad’s side and Rajput (Janjua) from mom’s side. I rather like the combo…landownership on the one hand and royalty on the other. Business-oriented grandparents on both sides.

Im and Awan from Chakwal district aswell.. Hey, were Related:)!
Are you from a village near there or Chakwal proper?

Are Gujjars types of Jatts?

No. Gujjars are not Jatts. Thank God!

hahaha very funny man but beware of Cheetahs!
anyhow Gujjars migrated with Ephtalites as sevants/clients in 5th Century A. D. some say they are Khazzars of Armenia/Black Sea region…so they may be Turks because Khazzars are considered Turks…

Re: Your ethnic background

Ever noticed these (below) letters in some cities' names?

GujranWAla" "Gujra" "Gujrat" "Qila Gujjar singh" "Kala Gujjran" "Indian Gujrat State" "Gurjistan In Rasia, etc.

There also many cities named after the sub-castes.

Gu*rjar is the word which most (Gujjar) Indians use. Similiarly, Goja*r is the word used by (Gujjars) in Georgia and nearby Central Asian countries. Gurjar is the Sanskrit word. Gojar is what the Central Asians use (they may have a few other derivatives of the word). Gojar is the base word, from which all others were derived.

@RajputFury

Rajput :soldier:

We are a major part of Pakistan…mostly concentrated in Sindh and Punjab. We have a strong militaristic tradition, although in contemporary times Rajputs have branched out into every occupation possible.

The first and last Rajput head of Pakistan was Liaquat Ali Khan of Karnal, Indian Punjab. Just wanted to mention his name because many Pakistanis assume he was a Pakhtun/Pathan because of the “Khan” surname.

Salaam brother,

I’m a Gakkar Raja from a village called Panchore near Dina (near Jhelum)in Punjab. It’s good to see someone representing the Raja’s as people always seem to criticising us. I agree with you on the military bit, more Raja’s have the nishan-e-haider than anyother ethnicity. Both my grandads and so many of their cousins were in the army or navy and served our country. Even today I have cousins in the military.

Re: Your ethnic background

I think it's important to know where u came from so u can pass on ur heritage to ur kids and so on...otherwise oneday, everyone wud say like, yea i'm from that country over there, i duno wot it's called...it's a shame really if we loose touch...sure we r muslims first...that is our religion...but it's not bad if to know where ur ancestors came from...i find it quite intriguing actually...and i'm sad cos i wud love to know more about my roots...only recently have i been trying to figure out where my parents' grandparents and their parents so on were born/raised etc...this is our only connection to them...

Is there anyway u can find out...like from ur name/caste...i get really confused about this stuff lol...well i do know that mum's side is kashmiri and my dad's side, well they r punjabi but i don't know more than that...i think i read somewhere someone wrote arian, i think that's wot my dad's side is...does that mean farmers or something? This stuff is really interesting to me :)
