Referenced content repeatedly vandled from this article
The Khattars are generally credited with a Hindu origin,from Khatris but they are divided in belief as to their descent .Some admit Hindu origin, while those who deny it claim an Arab descent, alleging they are closely connected with Awans.

Inorder to meet the generally accepted belief that they were originally Hindus, even those who claim a Mussalman origin admit that while at Bagh Nilab they became Hindus and were reconverted.

Khattar wedding rites used to closely resemble those of Hindus, Brahmans even being present, but they are now solmnised according to strict Muhammadan rules. Intothefire (talk) 05:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Request for Edit Semi-Protectected
Dear Editors, I am requesting semi-protection for this article as in my experience, at various times people (prob belonging to some of the prominent families of this tribe) keep on adding various 'vanity' items to it and changing it, by inserting either unverifiable data or long lists and family trees. Thanks Khani100 (talk) 06:06, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * If it continues to be a problem, I suggest you either contact an Admin directly, or bring up the issue on the Dicussion tabs at WP:WikiProject India, WP:WikiProject Pakistan, or ideally both. In the meantime, thanks for your good work maintaining the article. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:20, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Dear MatthewVanitas, thank you for your kind support; am sorry for not being able to contact/respond earlier. I think it might indeed be necessary to bring up the issue at WP:WikiProject India and WP:WikiProject Pakistan, both, as some people are again adding unsubstantiated and self-promoting material and only today I found a whole section on 'Khattars in Afghanistan' which I have now removed. If worst comes to worst (and I would like if we could develop a good article via a sensible attitude rather than some sort of inflated 'tribalism') then Admin will unfortunately have to be contacted. Its v tiresome, am sorry to say, to try to sort out and organise and edit an article and come back and find that its suffered negative attentions-- again. This seems to be most common w ref to articles concerning Pakistani tribes/clans, for the simple reason that people from these read something that they dont like/agree with even though its verifiable fact, and then want to add their own version/s-- which wouldnt be bad actually if (a) this/these were properly verifiable/substantiated and (b) if they were written with some basic semblance of order and attention to writing and grammar etc. Unfortunately, by now this article (for example) is in rather a jumble and will take me indefintely long to give it form and shape again, to the detriment of other articles.

Dispute
Dear Brother Selam! i am a Pushtun/khattar and my family is living in the Northern Afghanistan since Centuries ! Its not just my family but a Tribe of khattar's is spread over the northern border of Afghanistan and many other places within the Afghan region. Therefore the changes made last time were by me, as i read this biography of Khattar's. i dont have any books from which i can refer what i wrote but all the data that i had provided was a fact and has been delivered to me; by my ancestors via my Parents. We've been taught all our life that a bulk of Khattar's from the tribe; Several centuries back left Afghanistan to fight the Hindo's in the subcontinent(today Pakistan) and that's how it was edited. I hope u accept the changes! thankyou I hope You dont deny the Fact that a large number of Khattar's still reside in the European regions where they moved first and many still reside in the Khorasan Region!

07/12/2011 Selamwaleykum brother ! many thanks for the reply. i would like to refer the the first paragraph from the "Origins", "one is they are Non-Fatimid Arabs, descended from Ali, cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and thus an Arab tribe that entered in Spain with Tariq Bin Ziyad. The supposed head of the tribe, Abu Al-Khataar was supposedly a popular governor of al-Andalusia, Spain. After the downfall of the Moorish government in Spain, the tribe claims to have left it and moved to Turkey, ("Iran, Afghanistan"), India and north west of Pakistan. "

As far as the history of the tribe discussed among the elders of Khattar's in The Afghan region, it is claimed that the Khatatrs came from Arab to Spain and after the downfall of the empire they moved to turkey and Afghanistan/Iran and Then later They had move to North-West of Pakistan i.e. a vast number of Khattar's settled in Pakistan after a war. in the first Paragraph of the "origins" it is similar to what i know and people here. well as u have quoted Nawab Sahib From British India; they have had moved from Afghanistan towards later so called British India(first it wasn't British-India). and yes my Brother for Your Information Khattar's Still are in Afghanistan And Always will Insha'Allah!

Objection to this History was just that it only discusses Khattar's in India and Pakistan whilst many still living in the regions They Came from to these areas. as the first Line says: this clearly deny's the fact that Khattar's are no where else but only In the panjab of Pakistan and India while their roots are Forgotten.

"Nationalism" is not allowed in Islam brother but it brings differences in the Humanity. but the History of one's self should be well-known. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.83.1.244 (talk) 09:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Khattars in Afghanistan
Dear unknown brother, many salams to you too! Let me please quote from Priestley's translation of Nawab Muhammad Hayat Khan's "Hayat i Afghan" (orig. 1865, trans. 1874 in Eng, pp.V-VI of the Author's original Persian preface)for your edification, as Nawab Sahib (d.1901) was one of the elders/chiefs of the Khattar tribe in Punjab, British India: "My family has long associations with Afghanistan and the Afghan Frontier; my own mother was a Tahir kheli Pathan [sic] whilst many of my own people [i.e. Khattars] have been settled there as traders and merchants since the days of the Mughal empire, carrying on an extensive trade in many goods, even as far as Balkh and Bukhara". One of the earliest District Gazeteers of the Rawalpindi and Attock districts, c.1868, also informs us that (a) many Khattars from Attock, Rawalpindi, and further down south from Bhakkhar and Muzaffargarh, both Muslims and Hindus, were very active in trade on the North-West Frontier and Afghanistan and (b) a fairly sizeable community of them of both religious persuasions had also settled in various parts of Afghanistan, too, and spoke Pushtu/Pukhtu and passed off as Afghans/Pukhtuns. Possibly, this might help explain the presence of the Khattars in Afghanistan, if there are any still there?

Im sorry, but all the evidence Ive seen so far points out to a local, indigenous Indian origins for the Khattars, and I have given a fair amount of information, references and citations from various sources. Im very sorry, too, that you felt that to justify your point of view you had to remove many of these citations/refs, which Id worked very hard on.

Also, Im sorry to say that to the best of my knowledge, there were historically never any 'Khattars' (pronounced with the hard South Asian 'T') in Europe-- and that this erroneous belief arose out of a mispronunciation of [al]'Khataar' (soft Semitic 't'), probably a Berber tribe which inhabited Andalusia at one time. If you please read the article again, carefully, youll note that I have refered to Prof Philip K Hitti on the 'Khataar's and this view is also supported by another of your Khattar elders, late Sardar Shaukat Hayat Khan (1915-1998), also cited.

If you want, I can dig up the earliest Khattar pedigrees/geneaologies as recited and old to Col. Gracroft by Mullah Sarwar, family geneaologist to Nawab (then Sardar) Muhammad Hayat Khan, as recorded in his report-- which also shows that until the 19th century, the Khattars like their kinfolk, the Ghebas, Jodhras, Janjuas, Tiwanas etc, also accepted their Rajput/Jat origins and it wasnt until much later (as posited by Prof Dr Iftikhar H Malik, also cited)that around the early or mid 20th century, a rather different account developed, due to 'political' reasons.
 * ) It seems our respective positions are quite far apart as to the Khattar origins. What is to be done now, please?

>> I am also KHATTAR .. one thing want to mention which some of you know is "" who was SARDAR KALA KHAN"" he was the freedom hero who hit Nikalson and thought that he was dead Sardar KALA KHAN moved away and MR.Sikandar hayaad family took him to their house as they rewarded the name SIR !!!!!! Sardar sikandar is not the hero of KHATTARS but SARDAR KALA KHAN was the hero .. its about 6 km away from Taxila there is a tawr at margalla hill you can see there mention sardar KALA KHAN hit Nikalson .. don't change the history people .. its in our blood and we will transfer it ... one more thing the person is saying Khattars are from AFGANISTAN its true .. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khattar229 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, Khattar229 is quite right, Sir Sikandar was son of Muhammad Hayat Khattar, he was a poor shepherd and he once helped John Nicholson an Englishman and he was rewarded by British government with jageer an nawabi title. Muhammad Hayat also had 2 sons out of marriage (illegitimate birth) these illegitimate sons were Liaquat Hayat (from a Sikh woman of Patiala), he was also given later title of 'Sir' by English on recommendation of Maharaja (king_ of Patiala state) Patiala, as he was a servant of Maharaja's singing woman called 'Shamshad begum' and he would look after Maharaja when he visited the 'kotha' (brothel) of this woman. Also annother illegitimate son was Barakat Masih, from a Christian low caste 'masih' cleaning woman of Hasan Abdal. He died in 1977. This family of Wah Hayats are Khattars and of Hindu Khatri orgins. Khatris>one big clan is Arora>and one small section of Aroras is Khattars.

Spelling of 'Khattar' in Urdu
Excuse me please, but according to my limited knowledge the spelling of 'Khattar' in Urdu is given wrongly. Should be 'Khattar' with a hard T (as in Tiger, Urdu Ttay) not 'Khataar' with soft t (eg as in 'Italiano', Urdu te). I would pl request correction. 39.54.121.219 (talk) 03:19, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Dr HP Gupta

Conflicting viewpoints

 * There should be no problem accepting the existence of  Khattars  among Muslim, Sikh and Hindu  :Punjabis ,  Hindkowans ,  Pashtuns , Seraikis.
 * The cloak of religion while important is not the singular element in a community's historical collective consciousness of itself  and therefore Hindu/Sikh Khattar self knowledge   of descent from ancestors from what are now geographically " exclusively Muslim " countries or areas does not clash with Muslim Khattars assertion of being Punjabi/Multani/Pashtun/Hindkowan/ .Its no different from the fact that Saudi Arabia had a massive population of Jews and Christians in pre-islamic times and many tribes and people of non Muslim denomination have roots in that area.
 * Therefore while the information provided by editors on origin may seem conflicting, look carefully it there are are critical threads of commonality.
 * Aggressive deletion of content is only indicative of
 * a) Arrogance of a particular editor ( really indicative of ignorance "of the other", although there may be mastery of only his/her own known circle of sources)
 * b) Denial of another perspective
 * c) Overindulgence/misuse of Wikipedia rules to strip away the spirit of sharing knowledge
 * d Sheer desire to dominate discourse ( really nothing to do then with extending the borders of knowledge )

Re reversion
Thanks User:Sitush for making the necessary reversions! However, I dont understand fully about the verification and the BLP violation please, from the Edit summary? Could you kindly help out and explain? Thanks. I really thought I was adding the names of some well-known Khattar personalities here. Khani100 (talk) 12:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100
 * No problem. There is a de facto consensus among experienced editors that caste is similar to ethnicity and religion. A consequence of this is that in the case of biographies of living people it is necessary that we provide a reliable source which verifies that the person concerned self-identifies as a member of a particular community. In the case of people who are now dead, verifiability still applies. These points can be seen in action across scores of articles relating to "List of members of caste X". The issue has also been discussed at WT:INB, where a fair few of the participants are from India or of Indian origin. Your contribution added three names, one of whom is a living person. There were no citations to verify their ethnicity, nor were there any in the linked articles. - Sitush (talk) 12:34, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok, right, I thought that perhaps since their relationships to some of the existing people in the list were given these might be enough/acceptable-- I am really sorry, should have taken more care and ref to the Wikipedia gudelines before adding. Thank you very much, appreciate this note ! Khani100 (talk) 12:44, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100

Copy edit & tag improvement, April 2012
I tidied up the prose just now. The whole article is unreferenced, so that is what should be tagged. Slapping a tag on each section is overdoing it and looks like it's being used as a "badge of shame". Note the disambigation needed in one section. --Stfg (talk) 13:12, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear User:Stfg, hallo. I looked at this page as I was editing main Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan page. Regarding the 'disambiguation' note, I believe one already exists for some time? It lists both Sikandar Hayat Khan (Punjabi politician) (who is one of the people listed here) and Sikandar Hayat Khan, a Kashmiri politician. In addition, if we write Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan for the person here, it redirects to his article, I have done this please. Would there be any further need to create a disambiguation page please? Im sorry to bother but am still not v familiar with Wikipedia rules and regulations and am working to learn. Many good wishes, 39.54.233.36 (talk) 06:57, 24 April 2012 (UTC)AsadUK200

 * Hello AsadUK200. Thanks very much for resolving this. "Disambiguation needed" doesn't mean we need a disambiguation article; it means that a wikilink goes to a diambiguation page when it it would be better to make it go to a content page. By adding "Sir" you have solved the problem, so I've removed the tag. Thank you. --Stfg (talk) 09:04, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Actual pedigree of Khattars as reported to Col Hall in 1860s by the family of Hayat Khan Khattar of Wah
The senior branch of the Khattar tribe (which has both Hindus and Muslims) settled in Wah, Attock area of Punjab, Pakistan, is the Wah family, and they are neither Jat nor Awan/so-called fake Arabs, nor Turks etc-- they have maintained accurate historical pedigree in the past which was recorded by Col CH Hall in 1866 probably at Wah village, seat of late Nawab Muhammad Hyat Khan Khattar, which clearly shows they are of Rajput (Chohan) descent. Hence, they should be classified properly as 'Muslim Rajputs'. I am reproducing this original pedigree below, please, for accuracy and for the record:

STARTS HERE Original Pedigree and Genealogy of the Hayat, Khattar Family of Wah, as per the Account Given to Col. CH Hall, by Mullah Sarwar, Genealogist to Sardar (later Nawab) Muhammad Hayat Khan, 1866 and duly recorded at the Residence of the Sardar, in his company, in October of that year.

1.     Chauhan (or Chohan) Agnivanshi Rajput, Remote Progenitor –probably of Hun/Central Asian ancestry who came via Kashmir and settled with his clan/tribe in various parts of the areas that were later Punjab, UP and Rajputana.

(Several generations)

2.     Rai Shiv Dayal Chauhan (came from Kashmir or upper/hills of Punjab and settled at Bagh Nilab, near Indus River, c. 750 AD)

(Several generations)

3.     Rai Kishan Dayal

4.     Rai Har Dayal

5.     Rai Ram Dayal

6.     Had two (2) sons, Rai Sukh Dayal (supposedly remote ancestor of Tiwanas, Noons etc) and Rai or Raja Jai Dayal (direct line)

7.     Raja Jiwan (son of Raja Jai Dayal)

8.     Raja Mahinder

9.     Raja Gajinder

10. Raja Rajinder

11. Raja Harnarain

12. Raja Badrinath

13. Had two (2) sons, Raja Dayanand who via his descendant Raja/Rai Alyas, was progenitor of the Ghebas, Jodhras etc; and Raja Raghunand (direct line)

14. Raja Kaidarnath (alias ‘Kaidu Raja’ or ‘Khattar Raja’) son of Raja Raghunand, converted to Islam around 11th-12th AD, and received title of ‘KHATTAR KHAN’. All Khattars today, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh, descended from him, in Pakistan and India and elsewhere.

15.  Khattar Raja/Khattar Khan had 6 sons, and they divided into two (2) groups (a) KALA SECTION (led by Kalay Khan) and (b) CHITTA SECTION  or ‘FEROZAL’ SECTION (led by Feroz Khan)

16. From Chitta/Ferozal Section over the next many generations, with frequent inter-marriages and inter-relations with various Afghan, Persian and Turki (Turkish/Central Asian) settlers, was RAJA SARBULAND KHAN, who received also the title of ‘Sardar’ and was also known as ‘Sardar Sarbuland Khan’.

(From line of Sarbuland Khan)

17. Said Ahmad Khan

18. Ghazan Khan

19. Jamal Khan (founded village of ‘Jalalsar’ after his son, now ‘Wah’)

20. Jalal Khan (lived under the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir)

21. Had two sons, Inayat Khan and Habeeb Khan; and from Habeeb Khan are:

22. Kamil Khan and Ghazi Khan; and from Kamil Khan:

23. Shah Wali Khan (also known as ‘Shah Wali Mansabdar’ as he was in Mughal service and enjoyed ‘Mansab’ or rank of Haft-Hazari, commander over 7000); and from him:

(3-4 generations)

24. Several sons, (a) Sardar Karam Khan (b) Hassan Khan (c) Fatteh Khan (d) Kaim Khan and (e) Noor Khan. Sardar Karam Khan was murdered by his half-brother, Fatteh Khan; and he too was later murdered by Fatteh Khan, Khattar of Dharek. The sons of late Sardar Karam Khan are as follows;

25. (a) Gulab Khan (b) Bahadur Khan (c) SARDAR MUHAMMAD HAYAT KHAN, ASST. COMMISSIONER (THE MAIN SUBJECT OF THIS PEDIGREE) born: 1833/34; (d) Ghulam Khan’ and (e) Sikandar Khan.

Ends Here

Subsequent Pedigree from Sardar (later Nawab) Muhammad Hayat Khan, CSI, of Wah (until 1947-48)

26. Nawab Muhammad Hayat Khan (1833/34-1901) had many children from various wives and concubines, and from his Senior Wife, Begum Zainab Khanam, daughter of Ghulam Jilani, Ansari, employee and minister of Kapurthala State, he had the following sons: (a) Nawabzada Muhammad Aslam Hayat Khan (died 1924); (b) Sardar Mahmood Hayat Khan (died 1910) (c) Khan-Bahadur (later Nawab-Bahadur) Sir Liaquat Hayat Khan, ex-Prime Minister of Patiala State, British Punjab  (1887-1948) (d) Sardar Ghairat Hayat Khan (died 1911); and (e) CAPT ® SARDAR SIR SIKANDAR HAYAT KHAN, KBE, KCSI etc, former Premier of the Punjab (1892-1942)—the noblest and most distinguished of the sons of his notable father and the most brilliant of the scions of Khattar race, the true pride of all Punjabis, Hindu, Muslim or Sikh.
