Dogar
The Dogar are a Punjabi Muslim heritage clan('' bradari''). 'Dogar' is commonly used as a last name. History Dogar people settled in Punjab during the Medieval period. They have been classified as a branch of the Rajput (a large cluster of interrelated peoples from the Indian subcontinent). Initially a pastoral people, the Dogar took up agriculture in the Punjab, where they became owners of land in the relatively arid central area where cultivation required particularly strenuous work. In addition to cultivating crops such as ''jowar'' (millet) and wheat, they seem partly to have continued pastoral practices, sometimes as nomads. The arid conditions proved challenging, especially in the light of competition from peoples with more established agricultural ways (notably the Jats), and over the centuries the Dogar people developed a long-lasting reputation for marauding behaviour, such as animal raiding and other types of theft, including highway robbery. In the late 17th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
