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

Dr. Q. Wani says about the surname Raina Actually all Rainas have Central Asian Aryan Kashmiri Brahmin background. Many converted to Islam such as the famous Musa Rania and a very few to Sikhism. Most Sikhs in the Valley are non-ethnic Kashmiris and came from the Punjab and Jammu. Thus ignore disinformation. The Jews are often planting this. Kashmiri language or people have nothing to do with the Punjabis (the Jews are pushing this fake theory), Kashmiri in its pure form is an Aryan Dardic language and Kashmiris Central Asian Aryans.

Tufail Ahmad says about the surname Sapru Of course. Obviously, you may still find a family (Saparae) in its primitive style named after one of their ancestors who was papular with the surname Sapru and claim to have origions from Iran. Presently residing in the most beautiful valley of northern Pakistan for centuries. Our ancestors used to live along lush green pastures.

Vinay Rambal says about the surname rambal The word Rambal(in Kashmiri) means a geomancer(a type of astrologer). Geomancy or Ramal(Ramal Shastra-in Sanskrit/Hindi; Ilm-al Ramal- in Arabic) involves making predictions using a dice on a board sprinkled with sand.(Ramal is the Arabic word for sand- a testament to the syncretic Indo-Arabic origin of the art). A person who knows Ramal is called a Rammal which got colloquialised to Rambal in Kashmiri.
