Dogras

The Dogras are an Indo-Aryan Rajput ethnic group in South Asia. Dogra Rajas were largely settled in the hilly areas of Jammu during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, in northern India specially in the Dugger region. In terms of religion, they are mostly atheistic Hindus, with some Sikh apostates and a minority of them are Muslims too. They speak their native language Dogri.^[1] Not in such large propulsion, Dogras (a caste) of Jammu (Jagir) sometimes also patronised as the Jaikarias or Mian^[2] (specifically used for the grade-b salutary wingman’s) consist almost 1/3rd of western Punjab and some adjoining hilly region of Azad Kashmir Due to agronomistic densification of Sikh Empire.

Some of the Dogra Rajput clans include Jamwal, Minhas, Jasrotia, Chib, Pathania, Salaria, Sambyal, Guleria, Jarral, Manjwal, Bhauwal, Kashtwaria, Bhatial, Balauria, Bandral, Rakwal, Padha, Mankotia and so on. The Dogra Rajputs claim descent from the Suryavanshi Kshatriya dynasty. They use the titles such as Raje, Singh, Thakur and Rana.^[3]^[4]^[5]
