Population (Ethnic Groups)

The main communities living in this region are:[1]

  • Gujjars – They are an agricultural tribe and are estimated to be the largest community living in the ten districts of Azad Kashmir.[1][2][3] They are estimated to number around 800,000.[4]
  • Sudhans – (also known as Sadozai, Sardar) are the second largest tribe, inhabiting mainly the districts of Poonch, Sudhanoti, Bagh, and Kotli in Azad Kashmir. They allegedly originated from Pashtun areas.[5][1][2] Their population numbers over 500,000, and together with the Rajputs they are the source of most of Azad Kashmir's political class.[4]
  • Jats – They are one of the larger communities of AJK and primarily inhabit the districts of Mirpur, Bhimber, and Kotli. A large Mirpuri population lives in the U.K. and it is estimated that more people of Mirpuri origins are now residing in the U.K. than in the Mirpur district, which retains strong ties with the U.K.[1][6] Mirpuri Jats number approximately 300 000.[4]
  • Rajputs – They are spread across the territory, and they number a little under 500,000. Together with the Sudhans, they are the source of most of Azad Kashmir's political class.[4]
  • Mughals – Largely located in the Bagh and Muzaffarabad districts.[3]
  • Awans – A clan with significant numbers in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, living mainly in the Bagh, Poonch, Hattian Bala, and Muzaffarabad. Awans also reside in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in large numbers.[1][2][3]

No Flag?

Why is there no flag if Azad Kashmir has an official flag, There is just not any reasoning for why there is not a flag like the other provinces. Samman7723 (talk) 11:02, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Samman7723: As per a previous consensus, flags of any states or provinces are not included in the infobox of Kashmir-related articles, including Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Jammu and Kashmir (Union territory). نعم البدل (talk) 22:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This author is spreading political agenda and this article should be checked for accuracy

After checking all the edits made by this author it’s clear that author goal is to show this region as free Kashmir which is not the reality. First of all there is no region called Azad Kashmir . World recognize it as pak occupied Kashmir. Wikipedia should stay away from spreading political agendas of governments.
