Most of these so-called "Pakistani Rajputs" (especially in Punjab, Azad Kashmir where most are) share marital and clan ties with neighbouring Jatts and Gujjars. Also there is not a single source anywhere confirming the existence of Rajputs in Punjab, Azad Kashmir prior to the British arriving. Most of these are also very obscure tribes like Hon, Kharal, Jharral etc with zero recorded history. If anyone is able to show me a source of rajputs in these regions prior to the British, I would appreciate it.



To me, it seems like they were just random tribes who wished to gain recruiting privileges from the British Raj by claiming Rajput status.
