Gujjars (also Gujar, Gurjar, or Gurjara), are members of one of the many groups, or castes, of the subcontinent, mainly inhabiting Punjab (Pakistan), Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab (India), Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Western Uttar Pradesh, Northern Madhya Pradesh and Delhi Regions. Gurjars belong to the Kshatriya castes.

History

The presence of the Gujjars in India, as according to most historians, is first attested to after the 5th century invasion of India by the Hunas (Huns), with their bearing the brunt of the migration as sovereigns of much of the northwestern subcontinent at the time. Dadda, the founder of the most famous GurjarGurjara-Pratihara dynasty, established a kingdom at Nandipur (Nandol) in the 7th century. The Gurjars kept ruling all over north India till 12th century under various Gurjar clans like Pratihars, Chauhans, Chandels, Tomars and Bhadanas etc.

With the decline of Buddhism in the 8th-10th centuries in parts of northwest India, and the rise of Hinduism, the established Gujjars were mainly assimilated into the Kshatriya or Brahmin castes. The majority of Gujjars are classified as Kshatriya, attested to by their clan/caste/family names such as Chauhan. There are others, however, who are classified as very high Brahmins. With Arab Muslim conquests in the 8th century and the rise of Sufism in the 11th century, many Gujjars came under the influence of Islam. However, as with the majority of Indian Muslims, they retained their clan name as a form of tribal identity.

Names such as Gujranwala, Gujar Kot, Gujar Khan, Gojra and Gujrat in Pakistan and the state of Gujarat in India are a testament to enduring Gujjar influence in their heartland.

Maratha Gujjars

A community using Gurjar as their surname resides in the coastal Konkan region of Maharashtra, inhabiting Pangre, Hasol, and other villages in Ratnagiri District. Originally bearing the name GurjarPadhye, many now prefer to call themselves Gurjar. The community may have been living in the Konkan region for at least three centuries, although this estimate may be inaccurate. This community belongs to the Brahmin caste and these people call themselves Karhade Brahmins. They speak the Marathi language. This community might be a part of the bigger Gujjar community. However it is difficult to explain why and how they settled down in the Konkan region of Maharashtra and are Brahmins rather than Kshatriyas. Local pandits claim that the Gurjars are essentially a priestly community and that it is only the subcastes that assumed Kshatriya status in order to earn a livelihood in other more practical professions.

Demography

The majority of Gujjars are found in India, numbering around 30 million ^{[citation needed]}, with Pakistan holding 13 million ^{[citation needed]}. As much as any of the castes and tribes of the subcontinent, they form part of the global diaspora.

Language

The mother tongue of the Gujjars is Gujari/Gojri, which is very similar to Marwari/ Rajasthani and Gujarati. The Gujjars of South Asia, regardless of their religion or region may speak this language. However, they also speak the languages of the various regions they inhabit including Hindi and its dialects, Punjabi and its dialects, Urdu, Pothohari, Kashmiri, Dogri, Gujarati and Marathi. Urbanized Gujars in Pakistan may not speak Gojri at all and likely identify the local language as their mother tongue.

Religion

A majority of Gujjars are Hindu, Muslim and other small communities exist. A majority of Gurjar Hindu population lives in Gujrat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh as well as Delhi.

Majority of Muslim Gurjars live in Pakistan: NWFP,Gujranwala, Gujrat, ShakarGarh, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Lahore etc.

There used to be a lot of Muslim Gujjars living in District Anbala in the Punjab before partition. But after partition they were forced to leave their home land. Many of them were killed and those who escaped, migrated to Pakistan. They settled at different places near Lahore. The majority are now living in the villages of Tehsil Pattoki (i.e. Khanke, Mod, Phulliani, Sarankee etc) . They struggled at early stages in Pakistan but they established themselves as time went. Many of the young people went to Karachi to earn their living. Some of them established their own milk and bakery shops. Some notable shops and bakeries owned by Gujjars are Rahat Bakers and sweets, Broadway Bakers, International Bakers, United Bakers etc.

There are currently about 1200 Gotra within the Gurjars^{[citation needed]}. Many also possess titles such as Raja, Patel, Chaudhary, Thakur.
