S.K.Gagroo says about the surname Gagroo The original surname of Gagroos is supposed to have been Tupish. At some point in their history, one of the ancestors is supposed to have had a small skull, which earned him the nickname-gagur, meaning rat. As has happened with most such surnames, that name stuck. Subsequent generations were called & chose to call themselves Gagroo.

Talal Butt says about the surname Bhat Kashmiris are more closely related to semitic jews than ugly baboon indian aryans. Alberuni wrote in 10th century much before that hindu clown Kalhan pandit that jews were allowed to enter in kashmir and settle there, many kashmiris especially lighter skinned are descended of those jews settled during those time. Long live Kashmiri and semitic jews ancient connections.
