Varun Pahalwan says about the surname Pahalwan Yes I am Agreed with Ashutosh Pahalwan, but some of Pahalwans are using other surnames too like Kaul/Shivpuri/kashmiri/Pandit etc even I found some of Muslims those who are using this surname Don’t not how and why. (Om Shivpuri/ Shobha Shivpuri/Ritu Shivpuri are also from Pahalwan Family) But basically In Kashmir all the Pahalwans are belongs to one family, as this one is not a basic surname this is a titel which was received from Mughals to our ancestors. Hope you all must be agreed with me that the surnames which we all are using in our kashmiri Community they are basically our nik names and later on these are treated as surnames, which currently we are using. I am just trying to recollect the history of Pahalwans please send me all the details if you have, currently I have list of 160 persons those how are using Pahalwan Suname and a list of around 100 persons those who change their surname from Pahalwan to Shivpuri. Here I am also using word Maybe… Maybe all the Pahalwans are from one family I it would be really a proud moment for us if we could found our ancestors details/history.

R.C.Raina says about the surname Thalachoor There were four famalies of Thalachoor's who lived from Purshyar to Ragunath Mandir in Srinagar. Some one among them had gone to participate in a Mehndiraat function of a neighbour. While he was having his dinner, the lights went off suddenly which was a routine practice in Kashmir. To save his Thal from getting pushed in the darkness, he spread his Fheran over it and waited till the hosts arranged to make aggrangement for light. It is said that when the hall was suddenly lit with lights, people sitting besides this man saw him bringing out Thal from the Pheran. This is how he was instantly nick named as Thalachor.
