MOAZZAM KHAN says about the surname Bhat kashmir and the original redidents are more close to the central asia. Till to this date,and despite interacting, marrying out side their own cast, kashmiri are very distinct in their out look and behaviour.kashmiri are found in every part of sub-continent(Pak-Indo)due to the economic reasons and harsh weather conditions, but hardly people or other parts are seen in the Kashmir Valley,this was due to one reason that Kashmiri hardly accept out-sider,they have very strong ethnicity and one can harly find unity among them. this make them week and kashmiri facing with lot of misiries and socio-political-economic problem over the last many many years. it is very difficult to subjogate any kashmiri blood and butts are very difficult to handle,due to the reason, i found their character more of a Rajput(martial) and not of a Pandit (brahmin). concentration of other Kashmiri clans said to be the descendent of Rajput like; Rahtore, Magray, Rather, Lone, Dar or Dhar; from Mughals are the, Eshai, Banday,Mir (not all mir,as some are using this as a title and acutally are bhutt/butt.) Kashmiri culture is quite in-different from Pak-Indo and one can easily distinct Kashmiri from the people from other parts of pakistan and india. also people from other community do not like kashmiri and i do not find any valid logic but it seems more of due to jealousy from their God-gifted abilities, they exebit in every walks of life and distinct beauty,the place and people have got enough chunk from the nature.

Arjun Sapru Dhar says about the surname Sapru To my knowledge, the Sapru people were a nomadic clan originally from Iran that moved across Asia in search of a good place to settle down. When they came to Kashmir, they were entranced by its sheer beauty and decided to settle down there. Saprus have their origins in Iran. It is my deduction that many Kashmiri Saprus also returned to Iran over time. An example of this can be seen in Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, the first Supreme Leader of Iran, whose grandfather was Kashmiri.

Arjun Dhar says about the surname Dhar All Dhars are originally from Kashmir. Over time, many Dhars decided to move across India. Subsequently, many Dhars decided to return to Kashmir, which is why Kashmir has so many Dhars. All Dhars have origins in Kashmir. The Dhars across India are of Kashmiri descent.

Moazzam Khan says about the surname Bhat About Butt/Bhutt, there are a large people living in different part of U.K (particularly)irish community,with the surname of Bhutt/butt,this is may be due to certain families migrated in 18ins or may be some other reason,if any one can put light on it. there are many other surnames left in the list uploaded like; Banday,Buch,Eshai, Khand,rafiqi, Rathore,Rather,and Shawl,they are comming to my mind this moment.

Moazzam Khan says about the surname Bhat word starting from Bhutt, bhut,butt,bhat,bhatti,bhati,bhutto,bhutta, bhatia and so on, represent class of teachers(in hindu religion),those who use to read religious books and teach people were know with these names. bhutt of kashmir and of other southern part may not have the same lineage. bhutt or butt of kashmir are very fair,handsome. with the advent of DNA technology, these things can be determin whether bhutt people living in different parts are from one group or not. DNA test conducted some 12-15 back in Pakistan by some labs in KRL(if i am not forgetting,lab's name) proved that our pakhtoon are the desendents of some tribes migrated from present somalia,first gone to bulgaria and the neighboring areas and then came to the present region (Pakistan and Afghanistan), there are people that from the same family (pujab) one using Butt and the other using bhatti. There are families in Gujrat,Gujaranwala,Wazirabad,Sialkot(pakistan),many bhattis claims to be kashmiri. most of them are of fair color and stong structure, not like the ones resided in different other parts of punjab,sind and so on, with dark skin and skinny structure. I read one book and where-in the author mentioned,both bhutt and bhutti were the sons of Raja Sahlanban,the ancestor of them made the city of GAJ(by raja Gaj)in Afghanistan and in who's name the present name is Ghazni.
