    Interstingly the word Gurjara or Gujar is used to describe the people of Afghanistan/Pakistan/Kashmir/India who are also tillers of the land or tenders of the flock. In fact that’s all they do, to this day… it doesn’t even have to be their land or their flock, often they are hired for that job specifically.

    In Indian they are known as Gujar, and in Persian they are known as Gurj. It’s likely the transference of the name occured when the Persian invaded and occupied India.
