Rangharとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The term Ranghar/रंगढ़ refers to the Hindu converted Muslim Rajput clans, which were once found in the state of Haryana and still found in the Doab region of Uttar Pradesh, as well as Delhi in India. Presently, the Haryana Ranghar are now found in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab of Pakistan, while those of western Uttar Pradesh remain in India. Please note the term Ranghar is very rarely used by the community itself, who prefer the self-designation Musalman Rajput. The Ranghar use the titles of Rao, Rana and Kunwar, prefixed to their given names, and use Khan as a surname. In Haryana, the Ranghar spoke a dialect of their own, called Ranghari, which is itself a dialect of Haryanvi, and many in Pakistan still use the language. Those of Uttar Pradesh speak Khari Boli among themselves, and Urdu with outsiders. After independence of Pakistan in 1947, many Ranghar migrated from Uttar Pradesh in India to Sindh in Pakistan and mostly settling in Karachi. They are entirely Sunni, but like other Sunni communities are affected by the Deobandi and Barelvi split.
