Mustaq Pandit says about the surname Raina It is true most (very few converted to Sikhism in the Valley in reality) Sikhs arrived in the Valley from Jammu and Punjab rule during Sikh rule. The Sikhs look different, have a different culture and language from the Kashmiris but are state subjects. Due to the difference they are often not trusted, which is against Islam Thus must get same rights as Kashmiris. They should be treated equally in the Valley and given a chance to get an education. I would agree Raina is originally a Kashmiri surname without doubt. In fact many Muslim converts from Kashmiri Hindus still carry the family name Raina.

Mohit says about the surname jogi History and originThe Jogi are followers ofyogaan Ascetic Warriors orJogiKshatriyawhose Gotra(lineage origin) is LordShivahimself a God of War and he is the Clan Deity (Kuladevata) of them. As followers of yoga, they traditionally wear saffron-colored clothing. They are basically Religious Protector (Dharmrakshak), They are Warriors with the motto "fight but not to gain for self". They represent their Lineage origin(Gotra) LordShivaWhere Weapon (Shastra or Astra) and Knowledge (Shaastra) are seen together. Undoubtedly this is the reason for their economical decline as compared to other Kshatriyas.

Tarsem Singh Bali says about the surname Raina 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).
