'''Muslim Khatri''', originally a warrior community, later transitioned itself to the trading profession. They derive their values in keeping their words at any cost. The community is scattered through out [[Punjab]] and [[Kutch district|Kutch]] region, and found both as nucleated and extended family. They had monopoly of trade in Bharatvarsha (which includes present-day [[India]], [[Pakistan]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]] and [[Bangladesh]]).<br />
<br />
== Nomenclature ==<br />
Due to similarity in the names, the community had been misidentified with [[Kshatriya]] community. However, with the passage of time the boundary between the two communities got dissolved, and both names began to be referred to a single community.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Exact roots of the community is not known till date, but tangible evidences suggest that the community was resent during [[Mughal Empire|Mughal Era]]. On the other hand, intangible evidences date back their presence even during [[Delhi Sultanate]]. They were frequent travelers of [[Middle East]], and having impressed by the high spirit of Islam, they adopted the religion.<br />

== Saudagaran-e-Delhi ==<br />

<br />
In addition, the [[Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi]] community are also of [[Khatri]] ancestry. Historically, this community lived in [[Delhi]], and other [[North India|North Indian]] towns, but after the Partition of India, a lot of these people moved to Pakistan. In Pakistan also, the Muslim Khatris are engaged in various occupations.<br />
