Amit says about the surname Bali My surname is 'Balip'. We are very less in number in Maharashtra. We are Marathas settled in Maharashtra, but my parents, grandparents say that we were from Kashmir. Is that true?

Ali says about the surname Bhat This Talat Butt is a clown who knows nothing. He thinks Kashmiri Muslims are descendants of jews/arabs. All these people Butt, Dar, Wani, Kaul, Mir, Lone, Raina are descendants of Kashmiri pandits. Kashmiris first accepted Islam from Hinduism in 14th century. I’m from Butt family living in Pakistani Punjab. Majority of people are facing identity crisis.

Vikram says about the surname Kala Kala Sir name people in Ganga Nagar are from Mushaffrabad area. BRAHMIN Sikh who converted after Guru Hargobind visit to Kashmir and later some went on converting to safe guard Kashmiri Brahmins in the valley. Kala in Ganganagar are there because they were alloted land by the government in Rajasthan as the Panjabi Sikhs didnot want people to settle there.

Raja Habib Jalib says about the surname Raina It is all mixed up as these mountain tribes were ruled by many dynasties and worked with many great rulers, I am not sure that any Poonchi Tribe came from Afganistan or any outside Tribes. These are very tough lands and only people can survive in this land are Pharee people ,mountain men so all those lived in these areas from centuries ago can not be from Durrani or Sydozai , it must be a plain to avoid the origin of tribe, the reason was hate against Hindu religion as Dogra Raj was was brutal & they did not want to have any conection with Hindus (Raja Habib Jalib
