Bagga


Bagga are Punjabi people found in Punjab and Punjab.
"Bagga Sheikhan" is a small town in the Rawalpindi District, approximately 35 kms away from Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Those who traveled out to other places in Indian subcontinent from here attached Bagga as their surname, during those times i.e. around 1900 A.D. when the surnames often indicated the place one belonged to rather than lineage.
In India, Baggas are Punjabi Khatris who moved to independent India after Partition of India between 1947-1950.
