Origin
editHistorically, the majority of the Rai Sikh were found in territory that is now Pakistan, mainly in Sahiwal, and Multan districts, and the erstwhile Bahawalpur State. A small number were also found along the banks of the Sutlej in Jalandhar and Firozpur districts, as well the princely state of Kapurthala. In terms of distribution, the Rai Sikh are found mainly in over two hundred villages in Firozpur District, sixty villages in Kapurthala District, fifty villages in Jalandhar and Ludhiana districts.[3] In neighbouring Haryana, the Rai Sikh are now found in the districts of Karnal, Hisar and Kurukshetra. Almost of all these are refugees from Shaikh Pura District in Pakistan. LakhvindraGhoga (talk) 08:22, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
