Thind

Thind is the most prominent clan name found among the Kamboj people living in Greater Punjab. The Thinds are well known in the areas of agriculture, military, sports and Punjabi literature. Thinds are numerously found as Sikhs, Hindus and the Muslims. Thind surname is found among Kambohs, Khatris, Jats and Sainis of Punjab. Notable Thinds include Bhagat Singh Thind, and Maj Gen K.J.S Thind. Kambojs (including Thind clan) are historically documented to have had very good relations with the Lodhis and there were many Kamboj "nobles, Generals, Amirs and men of learning" in the courts of the Lodhi emperors. Secondly, Duleh is confusing the Thind Kamboj of Majha and Montgomery with the Jatts. H. A. Rose confirms in his Glossary of Tribes that all Thinds in Montgomery belonged only to Kamboh (Kamboj) agricultural clan and there were no Thinds of Jat background there.
