Hindu Gakhars are an ancient clan of India from the Punjab region . Gakhars are found among both Khatris as well as Rajputs . After the Partition of India in 1947 Hindu Gakhars moved from their traditional homes in West Punjab and what is now part of Pakistan to India.

Before the partition of India Hindu Gakhars were settled in the areas of Rawalpindi and Jhelum and Bhera

After the arrival of Islam into the subcontinent a predominant section of Gakhars converted to Islam from Hinduism. The Muslim Gakhars in Pakistan are a prominent community in that country .
