Tufail Ahmad says 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.

Arjun Sapru Dhar says 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.
