Dear Azeem and AP Singh bhai.
I come from shakargarh and i have never seen a single person who is gujjar bhatti. I know number of bhattis who are rajput in shakargarh tehsil. pleas tell me about bhatti gujjar families living in shakargarh. I read an interview of Ch. sultan ali ex-ministe and ex-president of anjuman e gujjran pakistan in 1st addition of nadai gujjar. he mentioned in his interview that a gujjar has also awarded with nishan e haider. he did not mention two gujjar nishane haider. if aziz bhatti was gujjar then ch sultan should be told that two persons from our caste had got nishan e haider. I have also read a post of manoj rana where he mentioned that virk, kang etc are gujjar. pleas do not involve other communities in our community. I also do not like the word rana because we can be chaudhary and sardar, but not rana. pleas take pity on my caste and do not involve others title and gotras in gujjars.
