The Dogras ( Dogri: डोगरा / ڈوگرا) are an Indo-Aryan ethno-linguistic group in India and Pakistan. Being a diversified group, the Dogras include savarnas such as Brahmins, Kshatriya, Vaishyas and non-savarnas. Dogra Rajputs ruled Kashmir from the 19th century, when Gulab Singh was made Governor General of Kashmir by the Sikh Emperor Maharaja Ranjit Singh, till independence. They live predominantly in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir, and in adjoining areas of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and northeastern Pakistan. The Brahmin Dogras are predominantly Saraswat Brahmins, genetically of common origin with Saraswat Brahmin of Kashmir.
They speak their own language, Dogri, which was recognized as one of the official languages of India in 2003. Most Dogras are Hindus; some are Muslims.
The Punjab Regiment of India primarily consists of Dogras and Sikhs.
