- Muslim Rajput clans of Ambala Division
-
Below is a list of Muslim Rajput clans and their population in the Ambala Division of Punjab, drawn up for 1911 Census of India. This region now forms part of the modern state of Haryana in India. These clans referred to themselves as Ranghars.[1] In 1911, the Ambala Division consisted of four districts, Ambala, Hissar, Rohtak, and Gurgaon.[2] The appearance of a particular tribe as Rajput in the list does not in itself confirm that the tribe is Rajput or otherwise. Identity may change with time, and some groups in the list may no longer identify themselves as Rajputs. This list simply gives an historical distribution of Muslim Rajput tribes in the historic British colonial province of Punjab, a number of years prior to the partition of Punjab.[3]
