Mir (K) Published By: J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages Srinagar/Jammu The Gujars Vol. 1 Compiled by Dr. Javaid Rahi Srinagar/Jammu Preface Gujjars are one of the important tribes of the north-western India. In the Indian subcontinent they are spread over twelve states of India and are found in all the four provinces of Pakistan. Besides, their habitats are found in Afghanistan and Iran also. Gujjars have a strong cultural identity. They have their own culture, custom, traditions folk-lore, ethnicity and five thousand year history at their back. The greater Gujrat which was called “Gujjar Ratha” (the kingdom of Gujjars) in history was ruled by Gujjars from fifth century to 11the century AD. At that point of time the boundaries of Gujrat were spread over today’s northwestern states of India.
