Dhaka‌ (caste)

Dhaka is a Jat clan found primarily in India.  Dhakas are found in religions such as Hinduism, Sikhism and Islam. Over time, especially during the Sikh reform movements led by figures like Kahn Singh Nabha, the Sikh Dhakas adopted the "Hum Hindu Nahin" ideology to assert a distinct Sikh identity.

They are one of proselyters of Sikh faith which played an key role to hospitably assist women from the Khatri or Arora backgrounds and shelter them in refugee camp due to rationalised order of Patiala state in 1947.
