Kamboj History

The Kamboj community, also known as Kamboh, is a caste and cultivating community that spans across India and Pakistan. The region they occupy stretches from the Sutlej Valley in the north to Multan in the west and the Karnal area of the Yamuna valley in the east². The majority of Kambojs follow Hinduism, while a significant minority follows Sikhism and Islam². Muslim members of the community are referred to as Kamboh². The Hindu Kambojs and Sikh Kambojs are primarily found in the Punjab, Haryana, and Jammu regions of India, while most of the Muslim Kambohs are located in the province of Punjab in Pakistan¹². In the United Provinces, Kamboh Sheikhs were found among the irregular cavalry but rarely enlisted in the infantry².
