D Paul says about the surname Pandit Pandit surname can be found mainly among Kashmirirs and Bengalees. However whether the Kashmiri 'Pandit's settled in Bengal or the Bengalee 'pandit's in Kashmir that is not sure. However the first case is correct I think.

Bansilal says about the surname Dhar Dhars are originated from Kashmir. Coincidently, some times ago I was reading a book about history of Bengal, there I found, during early mongol rule, many Kashmiris setteled down in Bengal, and Bengali Dhars are direct descendent of them. I guess same will be true for Gujarati Dhars. In fact,I have seen few Bengali and Gujarati Dhars, and they looks like Kashmiri. safaya, its not a place of joke, people are doing serious talking here.
