jhagad(m): fight

Description of jhagad: Jhagad is a surname and gotra within the Arora-Khatri community in India, associated with Suryavanshi Kshatriyas claiming descent from Lord Rama; members are often dual-faith Hindus and Sikhs, noted for education, success in professions like business and medicine, and strong Punjabi cultural ties. Unlike mere clan names, it carries historical narratives of partition-era resilience and global influence. Differs from regional titles like Jhagad Singh Negi, the last ruler of Koligarh
