Changar
Changar, or sometimes spelt as Chungar are a Muslim community found in the state of Rajasthan in India, and the Punjab province of Pakistan. They are also known as Sabungar, and have no connection whatsoever with the similar sounding Kanjar caste.〔People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D. K Samanta, S K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 271 to 274 Popular Prakashan〕 In southern Punjab in the Seraiki speaking part of the province, the Changar are considered to be a Jat clan.〔A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of Punjab and the North West Frontier Province Volume II by H A Rose page 158〕 == Origin ==
The community gets its name from Persian wors ''chuna'' meaning lime and gar meaning manufacturer, with the word Changar meaning a lime manufacturer. According to their traditions, the Changar left Iran some five centuries ago, with their initial settlement being in Kabul. From there the Chungars migrated to Punjab, where many are still found. A further migration then took place to Rajasthan. The Chungar are now found mainly in the districts of Bikaner, Churu and Nagaur. They speak Marwari among themselves, and Urdu with outsiders.〔People of India Rajasthan Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B.K Lavania, D.K Samanta, S.K Mandal & N.N Vyas pages 271 to 274 Popular Prakashan〕 In Punjab, the Changar have different origin myths, and they claim to be by origin Arain, who were converted to Islam by the famous Sufi Shams Tabraiz of Multan. Their clans referred to as ''biradaris'' are well known Bhullar jatt. Unlike the Rajasthan Changar, most Punjabi Changar are nomadic. Historically, the Punjab Changars were concentrated in territory that became Indian Punjab such as the districts of Amritsar, Firuzpur and the princely states of Faridkot and Kapurthala. In Punjab, the Changar were concentrated in Sialkot, Lahore and Gujrat districts with also being a large settlements in Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan districts, where the Changar are settled agriculturists and are, in fact, considered to be a Jat clan.〔
