Tantrey people are a good caste. In Rajatarigini the Tantrin (Sanskrit) are the soldiers. The Tantrey caste is derived from this origin. Another group of great warriors are the Magasa (Sanskrit warrior Kshatriya) the Magrey are descendants from them. Most people in the Valley of Kashmir are of pure Aryan Central Asian origin. As anticipated the Jews (they are generally insecure) are trying to change the history of Kashmir to serve their agenda. Yehudi posheney Kashiran.

The title Raina originates from the Kashmir Valley, example Ramachandra Raina. During the period of Hindu Kashmir often Poonch, Rajapuri (Rajouri) were under Kashmir thus Raina people moved in these areas. The Sikhs a fine people in Kashmir are outsiders and are mainly from Jammu and the Punjab. Their ethnicity and language is totally different from us (Muslims and Pandits) and they are distinct people living mainly in Tral and Baramulla. Some carry the name Raina (most have Punjabi family names) as a few Kashmiris became Sikhs in Poonch and Rajouri and then they married with other Sikhs of Jammu and Punjab. We love and welcome the Sikhs in the Valley but they do not call themselves Kashmiris either. They are of Jammu-Punjab region. Many Kishtwar Muslims-Hindus are pure Kashmiris, look Kashmiri and speak Kashmiri.

Most of us Muslims today in the Valley are converts from Hindus of Kashmir and still maintain our caste names. No controversy simple and fundamental.

It is true most (very few converted to Sikhism in the Valley in reality) Sikhs arrived in the Valley from Jammu and Punjab rule during Sikh rule. The Sikhs look different, have a different culture and language from the Kashmiris but are state subjects. Due to the difference they are often not trusted, which is against Islam Thus must get same rights as Kashmiris. They should be treated equally in the Valley and given a chance to get an education. I would agree Raina is originally a Kashmiri surname without doubt. In fact many Muslim converts from Kashmiri Hindus still carry the family name Raina.
