Kachar

Kachar refers to a community historically found in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. They are primarily associated with agricultural practices and have a presence in both India and Pakistan. The exact origin of the Kachar community is subject to various historical accounts, with some suggesting a connection to older indigenous groups in the region. Their socio-economic status has often been linked to land ownership and cultivation.

Throughout history, the Kachar people have played a role in the agricultural landscape of Punjab, contributing to its reputation as a breadbasket. Like many communities in the region, their culture and traditions have been influenced by the broader Punjabi heritage, including language, customs, and religious practices. While the term "Kachar" itself may not denote a single, monolithic ethnic group, it has been used to identify a distinct social stratum or lineage within the agricultural communities of Punjab. Contemporary Kachar individuals are integrated into the diverse social fabric of modern India and Pakistan, participating in various professions and aspects of national life. Information regarding their precise demographic numbers and current social standing can vary depending on the specific region and the sources consulted.
