- Arneja
The Arneja ancestry is of the Punjab and
Sindh . InIndia , they reside in Punjab (India),Haryana ,Himachal Pradesh ,Delhi ,Jammu ,Rajasthan ,Uttar Pradesh ,Uttaranchal ,Gujarat and other parts of the country. InPakistan , they are mainly found in Punjab (Pakistan) and Sindh. They have also spread to all parts of the world due in part to the rising communal tension resulting from the division of India into Pakistan and India. Many Arnejas ofSikh andHindu affiliation were suddenly forced to move to India at the time of Partition in the late 1940s. Many lost land and property during the exodus and were forced intorefugee camps to await their fate in a new country.The Arneja people are of Jat caste and are thus of warrior ancestry. They are a group of Indo-Aryans who remained in the
Indus Valley throughout most of their history. Since the end ofWorld War II , many Arnejas in India and abroad inNorth America are educated professionals in Engineering, Medicine, Surgery and other related professions.They can be spotted in Westbury, NY and London UK Symbols representing their various faiths:
