[edit] The Khakha
Caste No. 179 Khakha is said to he a not un common epithet to apply to any petty Kbatri trader. But the people to whom our figures refer are now sufficiently distinct, though their Khatri origin is, I believe, undoubted. They are in fact converted Khatris, and are found in greatest numbers in the Kashmir hills lying along the left Bank of the Jahlam ; whence a few have made their way into Hazara and Rawalpindi. Sir George Campbell calls them a curiously handsome people.
