The Dogars of the Panjab are found <br />
in the upper valleys of the Satluj and Beas above the lower border of the <br />
Lahore district, and have also spread westwards along the foot of the hills into <br />
Sialkot. There are also considerable colonies of them in Hissar and Karnal <br />
<br />
They are thus described by Mr. Brandreth in his Firozpur Report : — <br />
<br />
In my account of the Firozpur ilaqua I have already alluded to the Dogars, who are supposed <br />
to be converted Chauhan Rajputs from the neighbourhood of Dehli. They migrated first to the <br />
neighbourhood of Pak Pattan, whence they spread gradually along the banks of the Satluj, and <br />
entered the Firozpur district about 100 years ago. The Firozpur Dogars are all descended from <br />
a common ancestor named Bahlol, but they are called Mahu Dogars, from Mahu the grandfather <br />
of Bahlol. Bahlol had three sons, Bambu, Langar, and Sammu. The Dogars of Firozpur and <br />
Mullanwala are the descendants of Bambu ; those of Khai the descendants of Langar ; the descen<br />
dauts of Sammu live in the Kasur territory. There are many other sub-castes of the Dogars in <br />
other districts along the banks of the Satluj, as the Parehats, the Topuras, the Chopuras, &c. <br />
The Chopura Dogars occupy Mandot. The Firozpur Dogars consider themselves superior in rank <br />
and descent to the other sub-castes. They are very particular to whom they give their daughters <br />
in marriage though they take wives from all the other families. At one time infanticide is said <br />
to have prevailed among them, but I do not think there is much trace of it at the present day. <br />
<br />
Sir H. Lawrence, who knew the Dogars well, writes of them that 'they are tall, handsome, <br />
' and sinewy, and are remarkable for having, almost without exception, large aquiline noses ; they <br />
' are fanciful and violent, and tenacious of what they consider their rights, though susceptible to <br />
' kindness, and not wanting in courage ; they appear to have been always troublesome subjects, and <br />
' too fond of their own free mode of life to willingly take service as soldiers.* The Jewish face <br />
which is found among the Dogars, and in which they resemble the Afghans, is very remarkable, <br />
and makes it probable that there is very little Chauhan blood in their veins, not with standing the <br />
fondness with which they attempt to trace their connection with that ancient family of Rajputs. <br />
Like the Gujars and Naipals they are great thieves, and prefer pasturing cattle to cultivating. <br />
Their favourite crime is cattle-slealing. There are, however, some respectable persons among them, <br />
especially in the Firozpur ilaqua. It is only within the last few years that the principal Dogars <br />
have begun to wear any covering for the head; formerly the whole population, as is the case with <br />
the poorer classes still, wore their long hair over their shoulders without any covering either of <br />
sheet or turban. Notwithstanding the difference of physiognomy, however, the Dogars preserve <br />
evident traces of some connection with the Hindus in most of their family customs, in which they <br />
resemble the Hindus much more than the orthodox Muhammadans.<br />
<br />
Mr. Purser notes that they are divided into two tribes one of which <br />
claim to be Chauhan and the other Punwar Rajputs and he notes their alleged <br />
advent from Pak Pattan, but not their previous migration from Dehli. If <br />
they ever did move from Dehli to the Montgomery district it can hardly <br />
have been since the Ghaggar ceased to fertilize the intervening country^ and <br />
the date of the migration must have been at least some centuries back ; and <br />
the Dogars of Hissar came to those parts from the Panjab, probably from the <br />
Satluj across the Sirsa district. The Dogars of Lahore and Firozpur are <br />
essentially a riverside tribe, being found only on the river banks : they bear <br />
the very worst reputation, and appear from the passage quoted above to have <br />
retained till quite lately some at least of the habits of a wild tribe. I suspect <br />
that their origin was probably in the Satluj valley. They appeal- to have <br />
entered the Firozpur district about 1760 A.D. and during the next forty years <br />
to have posessed themselves of a very considerable portion of the district, <br />
while their turbulence rendered them almost independent of the Sikh Govern<br />
ment. In 1808 we recognised the Dogar State of Firozpur, and took it under <br />
om- protection against Ran jit Singh ; but it lapsed in i835. <br />
<br />
The Rajput origin of the Dogars is probably very doubtful, and is <br />
strenously denied by their Rajput neighbours, though I believe that Dogar, or <br />
perhaps Doghar, is used in some parts of the Province to denote one of mixed <br />
blood. Another derivation of the name is doghgar or milkman. The Dogars <br />
seem to be originally a pastoral rather than an agricultural tribe, and still <br />
to retain a strong liking for cattle, whether their own or other people's. <br />
They are often classed with Gujars, whom they much resemble in their <br />
habits. In Lahore and Firozpur they are notorious cattle-thieves, but <br />
further north they seem to have settled down <br />
and become peaceful husbandmen. They are not <br />
good cultivators. Their social standing seems <br />
to be abOut that of a low-class Rajput ; they <br />
are practically all Musalmans. The Dogars have <br />
returned hardly any large clans ; some of the <br />
largest are shown in the margin.</div>Pdewan
