Mian (Rajput)

Mian Rajput are one of the clans of ruling Rajput community found in Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh State of India.

The Mian Rajputs, are the tribe, to which the rulers of Kashmir belong. Mian Rajput consider themselves to be of highest class. They do not engage in trade or agriculture. They are major land owners cultivated by other castes. They would rather gladly join cavalry or army by choice.[1][2]Although Dogra Rajputs generally do not regard finer divisions of Rajput ethnologist but they draw and put Mian Rajputs in high regards in comparison with others.[1][3]

They have territorial names such as Jamwal and Jasrotia signifying the family is connected with Jammu and Jasrota, respectively.[1] The Mina Rajputs of Deosar look different from their brethren in the Dogra country.[2]
