Dukhtaran-e-Millat

= Origin of Andrabi =

Andrabi is the surname of a Sayyid Muslim dynasty in Kashmir. Most of the dynasty's members live at Ratnipora in the Pulwama District, Malaratta area of Srinagar and Kanthapora, Lolab valley in the Kupwara district. The ancestors of these people came from a place in Afghanistan called Andarab [http://www.aims.org.af/maps/district/baghlan/andarab.pdf] , meaning "surrounded by water" -- a reference to the river of the same name winding through the valley named Andarab.
