Dogra Jheer
The Dogra Jheer are a Hindu caste found in the Jammu Region of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Their preferred self-designation is Kashyap Rajput.〔People of India Jammu and Kashmir Volume XXV edited by K.N Pandita, S.D.S Charak & B.R. Rizvi page 292 to 301 Manohar Publications〕
== Origin ==
The word is said to be a corruption of the Sanskrit ''dheevara'', which means someone of mixed origin. Dheevaras receive a mention in the Mahabharat, where they are said to be a tribe of fishermen. In the Dogri language, the term jheer was often used for a cook. This community may have acquired the name Jheer on account of the fact that members of the community were employed as cooks. The Jheer are a caste associated with water carrying and may be connected with the Jhinwar caste of Indian Punjab. Like the Jhinwar and the Kahar of North India, the Jheer were also employed as palanquin bearers.〔People of India Jammu and Kashmir Volume XXV edited by K.N Pandita, S.D.S Charak & B.R. Rizvi page 292 to 301 Manohar Publications〕
The homeland of the Jheer is a region historically known as Duggar Des, an area stretching from Udhampur in the west and Kathua in the east. They speak the Dogri language, and their customs and traditions are similar to the locally dominant Dogra community.
