- Kassar abstract "Mughal Kassar (Urdu: ( کسر / مغل کسر ) is a Zamindar tribe and one of the three major land-owning tribes of Chakwal District in Punjab province, Pakistan. They occupy the northern part of Dhani, called 'Babial and Chaupeda'. In the Punjab settlement report of 1862, it is mentioned that they had come from Jammu along with the Mair-Minhas tribe and had been settled in this area by the Mughal Emperor, Zaheerudin Babur. However, in Punjab census of 1881 they claimed that they themselves were of Mughal descent, and presented a family tree that connected their lineage with Babur in the 8th generation and showed their ancestor Kassar (who was claimed to be a Barlas Mughal) as a distant cousin of Babur. Hence, they claimed that they had come with Babur's army as his fellow tribesmen and were settled in Dhani along with the Mairs and Kahuts by the Emperor himself. According to the census of 1931, their male population was approximately 40,000. Kassars tend to prefer their own caste for marriages but second priority goes to Mair Minhas and Kahout which suggests a common Rajput origin.In character, the Kassars are passionate and revengeful. They have no special ethnic belonging or places of worship, Most of them belongs to Ahle Sunnat (Urdu: اہل سنت) while considerable number follows Shia Islam (Arabic: شيعة, Shīʿah), apart from these two major sects some of them follow Ahl-e-Hadith School of thoughts. Diversity in their religious believes indicate their secular culture.The Kassars have the institution of sirdari, whereby the eldest son of a chief gets an extra share.The chiefs of the tribe use the title of "Sardar". The headmen also use the title of "Chaudhary" . They are men of engaging manners and fine appearance, good riders and fond of hawking. They breed a very fair stamp of horse. Most of their customs and traditions are not different in any respect from those of the tribes surrounding them, except that the graves of women are distinguished by stone at the head and foot parallel to the breadth of thegrave, while other graves are parallel to the length .".
