Haksar is a Kashmiri caste.[1] They are native to the Kashmir Valley within the disputed Jammu and Kashmir; however, some Haksars are Kashmiri Pandits, who have a long tradition of Indian administrative service based on fluency in a link language - Persian under the Mughuls and English under the British.[2] In light of this fact, the Haksar family historically became a prominent administrative family in other parts of India, namely in Indore and Gwalior.[2]
