Dhruggi Rajgan

Dhruggi Rajgan is a village in Chakwal District in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The majority of Dhruggi Rajgan's population comprises Chauhan Rajput people, who are believed to have lived in Dhruggi Rajgan since Prithvi Raj Chauhan was defeated and his family and army was arrested by Ghauri and was then being taken to Afghanistan via Jhelum. It is believed some of the members of Chauhan tribe managed to escape the captors and settled in Dhruggi and its adjacent villages.

Before partition there was considerable Hindu population who were well learned at that time. Locally, they were known as Khatri. They eventually left for India after partition. The majority of the people of Dhruggi are serving in the police, the Pakistan Army and other governmental institutions. Many have excelled in private businesses. There are two government schools each for boys and girls. Recently a school for children of army personnel opened. There are three Jamia mosques and a Janaza gah.
