Most Sikhs in the Valley are from the Punjab and Jammu. They are converts from different castes. Example Balis are converts from Punjabi Brahmins. The ethnicity of Kashmir is totally different and is typically Central Asian Aryan. Most Muslims in the Valley are converts from Kashmiri Hindus. More like Pamir and Tajik people. While majoirty of Indians are
Indian Aryans. Note Central Asia has often been a part of Aryavarta (Bharat).

My surname is Reen and i am a Brahmin by jaati, Sikh by religion and a jatt by profession as we do have land/farming. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur was a Brahmin Sikh who established first Sikh rule.

Raina surname belongs to kashmiri brahmins or the people who have relations with jammu and kashmir.

Kashmiri language is Dardic language. Indians are black australoids. No one in modern world care about Aryan crap. If as a Kashmiri I have to choose between a semetic person and a black australoid so-called indian aryan then I would surely choose a semetic person over a black indian australoid aryan. By the way genetically speaking Dardic kashmiris are closer to a semetic jew than to an black aryan indian baboon.

Actually the Jews are trying to Semitize racially our beloved land Kashmir. The Jews spend money and spread disinformation but Aryan people are ahead of the Semite-Jew.

I am both a proud Muslim and proud Aryan-Kashmiri.

Actually Kashmiri language is a proto-Aryan a pure Aryan language so are surely the Kashmiris of pure Aryan stock.

Some Kashmiris have modified their names. Kher is not a Kashmiri name Khar is. The latter has been changed to Khar by few Kashmiris. .

Nevertheless, Kailash Kher is not a Kashmiri (though some idiots without checking deeply on him have married him to a Waza Kashmiri family). We Kashmiris (both Muslims and our Kashmiri Pandit brethren) are proud of our ethnicity, roots, culture, etc.

Be careful of the foreign influenced India media, they are making non-kashmiris as Kashmiris to create a chaos. Check families deeply.

P.S. The Jew is making the Aryan Kashmiris as Darads. Read our history Darads are our neighbors and also Aryans. In the Valley of Kashmir the Bhatts (Butts) are all descended from the Aryan Kashmiri Brahmins. They converted to our beloved Islam. A recent converted Butta is the ancestor of Farooq Abdullah, namely, Raghu Ram. Sorry darling Jews and your plants you can not change Kashmiri history.

Raina is a Sanskrit origin name from Kashmir and her neighborhood. Names have no meaning generally in the Valley and only Gotras have. Each Gotra descended from an Aryan Rishi. Names can be titles got via employment or pet-names. Such as Khar (donkey), Fotadar (Persian not Arabic for in-charge of treasury), Magazine (in-charge of the armory), Kachur (reddish), Bahadur (brave), Wattal (janitor), Nehru (near a stream) etc.

Very nice discussion. Truth: Raina surname was found in ancient Kashmir read Srivara.

All Saraswat Brahmins are Central Asian in origin. Kashmir is Central Asia. Compare The Kashmiri and Tajik, very similar looks structure, etc. All Saraswat Brahmins are pure Aryan. We all are keen to see our Kashmiri Pandit Brothers retain their unique culture, history and ethnicity. Yes the KPs hold the Indian flag high still in the Valley. Ignore foreign propaganda.

I totally agree the Kashmiris are truly Central Asian Aryans and what the Jews are trying to do is to create a confusion in India. Saraswat Brahmins of Afghanistan (the Hindu Shahi Brahmin dynasty) and Kashmir were pretty similar. All Saraswat Brahmins have common origin. Northarasvatī is an exact cognate with Avestan Haraxvatī, perhaps originally referring to Arədvī Sūrā Anāhitā (modern Ardwisur Anahid), the Zoroastrian mythological world river, which would point to a common Indo-Iranian myth of a cosmic or mystical Sáras-vat-ī river. In the younger Avesta, Haraxvatī is Arachosia, a region described to be rich in rivers, and its Old Persian cognate Harauvati, which gave its name to the present-day Hārūt River in Afghanistan, may have referred to the entire Helmand drainage basin (the center of Arachosia).western and Central Asian Aryan orgins. Sarastvati River. To differentiate parts of Afghanistan, Kashmir, Tajikistan is next to impossible since all this region had common borders in the past and most of this territory was part of ancient Aryavarta.

Let not the divisive propaganda of the Jews permeate India. I have lived in Kashmir and believe Kashmiri Brahmins are great Indian nationalists. They do however have their unique Central Asian culture which they like to retain. India is a colorfull and must stay colorful. We ruled Kashmir and know the feelings of Kashmiris.

There is big problem with Kashmiri Saraswat Brahmins they have alienated from rest of the Saraswat community and think as if they have originated in the valley itself and are a different breed or different species of Saraswat or it is a special community which came from central Asia or direct from heavens. It has made them a laughing stock among the Saraswat community.The history of Saraswati river and its existence has now been proved beyond doubt and migration of Saraswat brahmins to valley is well documented.And subsequent re-migration to Punjab, Jammu and Himachal is also well established. As far Raina are concerned they have their origin from NAGARKOT which is beyond any doubt. Raina exist in Jammu, Himachal and adjoining Punjab from the times of TRIGARTA . There are twon groups one which has gone to valley and come back and other which has never migrated to valley. There are plenty such Raina Saraswat Brahmins in Jammu and Himachal.No Kashmiri Saraswat is different species the DNA study is available which well establishes that all saraswat are of common origin and migration is below upwards meaning Jammu to Kashmir in ancient times.
