Bhatra
The Bhat community (or the correct term "Partra" or "P.A" community), also known as the Sangat community, comprised majorly of Sikhs. Today in the United Kingdom there are significant numbers of Sikhs with Bhat ancestry, as there are in India.The Bhatra origin from Punjab and Bhat Sikhs were amongst the first followers of Guru Nanak who are also believed to have traveled with him as far away as Sri Lanka. In the Punjab most Bhat Sikhs are now in Patiala, Amritsar, Nawashahar, Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur or Bhathinda districts, or in Jalandhar or Chandigarh; elsewhere in India they tend to live in cities, particularly Delhi and Calcutta. The Ramaiya community of Uttar Pradesh is of Bhatra origin.
