Heer Dar. says about the surname Dhar Yes! The Dars or the Dhars are from kasmiri pundit origin originally . But due to the violence in the valley they shifted to other areas of India like Bengal (for trade)and gujrat also for trade. But a large of these Original people from kashmir can befound in jammu, kolkata, himachal and Delhi. They were brahmin warrioirs. They were the modt selfdependentwho also gave freedom to read and write to their daughters and girls. In the mod 18-th century the dar girls used to run businesses in handicrafts. So basicaly they origin from srinagar (anantnag, kangan and mattan). A part of this community can be found in the village ustehar, tehsil baijnath, district Kangra(Himachal Pradesh. ) The kaul and dar community lives there. By the way most of dar oundits are today converted to muslims but still hindus exist too.The Dar and the Kaul-also the khosa, kar ganju are hail from kasmir valley.

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.
