DOGRA

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 385 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOGRA , a race of Hill Rajputs in India, inhabiting Kashmir and the adjacent valleys of the Himalayas. They form the ruling race in Kashmir. "Dogra " is the name given to the country round
Jammu
 , and is said to be derived from a word meaning the " two lakes," as the
original
 
home
  of the Dogra
people
  was situated between the lakes of Siroensar and Mansar. There are numerous castes in the Dogra country, and the Hindu,
Mahommedan
  and
Sikh
  religions are represented. All, whether Hindus or Mahommedans, whether high-born Rajputs of the Maharaja's
caste
  or low-born menials, are known as Dogras. At the time of the first
Sikh
  War the Dogras had a
great
  reputation as soldiers, which they have worthily maintained in the ranks of the Indian native army. They are classed as fighting men with the Sikh and Punjabi
Mahommedan
 . They distinguished themselves in the Hunza Nagar Expedition and the affair at Chilas in 1891, and in the
Tirah
  campaign of 1897-98.
