			== Demographics ==

			=== Religion ===
			As per the 1931 census of [[Punjab Province (British India)\|British Punjab]], most Kambojs followed [[Sikhism]] (42.4%) and [[Islam]] (41.5%), with a considerable minority following [[Hinduism]] (16.1%).<ref>{{cite report \|title=Census of India 1931.

			The [[Hindu]] Kambojs and the [[Sikh]] Kambojs are found in the [[Punjab, India\|Punjab]], [[Haryana]] and [[Jammu division\|Jammu]] regions in India, while most of the [[Muslim]] Kambojs, known as Kambohs, are found in the province of [[Punjab, Pakistan\|Punjab]] in Pakistan.<ref>{{cite book \|last1=Singh \|first1=Pashaura \|last2=Fenech \|first2=Louis E. \|title=The Oxford Handbook of Sikh Studies \|date=27 March 2014 \|publisher=OUP Oxford \|isbn=978-0-19-100411-7 \|page=84 \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7YwNAwAAQBAJ&dq=Kamboj++caste&pg=PA84}}</ref>

			The Muslim Kambohs were particularly influential in the administration and the military of the [[Mughal Empire]] from the times of [[Akbar]] onward. Some famous personalities include Mughal general [[Shahbaz Khan Kamboh]] and 16-century [[Sufism\|Sufi]] saint [[Shaikh Gadai Kamboh]].<ref>{{cite journal \|last1=Umar \|first1=Mohammad \|date=1992 \|title=The Kambohs: A Prominent Community of Indian Muslims in the Sixteenth Century (summary) \|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44142802 \|url-status=live \|journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress \|volume=53 \|pages=328–330 \|issn=2249-1937 \|jstor=44142802 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240901195449/https://www.jstor.org/stable/44142802 \|archive-date=1 September 2024 \|access-date=14 January 2024}}</ref>
