Below is a list of Muslim Rajput clans and their population of the Rawalpindi Division of Punjab, drawn up for 1911 Census of India. In 1911, the Rawalpindi Division consisted of six districts, Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Attock, Jhelum, Mianwali, and Gujrat. [1]The appearance of a particular tribe as Rajput in the list does not in itself confirm that the tribe is Rajput or otherwise. Identity may change with time, and some groups in the list may no longer identify themselves as Rajputs.
