Celebrating
175 years of Jodhpur Kashmiri Samaj

Earliest records of a Kashmiri Pandit family settling down in Jodhpur are from circa 1848. Over the last nearly two centuries many Kashmiri Pandit families have migrated to the beautiful erstwhile kingdom of Marwar in western Rajasthan. It has been a never ending love affair between the desert and the people from the snow clad mountains.

About Us

Over the past century and a half, Jodhpur has seen many Kashmiri Pandit families making it their home, temporarily or permanently. Jodhpur, the cultural capital of Rajasthan has been generous in its love and affection towards them.

Though small in numbers, the community has produced luminaries in various fields like administration, education, defense services, judiciary, medicine, engineering, science, literature, linguistics, theater and other arts apart from the business and corporate world. Their contribution has not been limited to Marwar or Rajasthan. Many members of the Samaj have immensely contributed at the national as well as the international levels.

This website is an effort to link the past and the present of the samaj to the modern world of information. Hopefully, the purpose will be achieved.
