I've always wondered is Mishal Punjabi? Isn't Lohri a North Indian festival? 😳

Thanks for sharing Dazzling! Not sure if he is Punjabi or not! May be he is Sindhi...( I am just guessing based google research on last name...😆)

I think lohri is Punjabi, Pongal is north indian, makar sakranti is gujju and lodi is bihari ( I might be totally wrong here)...Need to read Pearl's post

Hi Dazz & Ami..

My guess is he is a Gujarati, but could be wrong

@ Ami...Pongal is South Indian ( Tamil Nadu), & Makar Sankranthi is what we celebrate in the south as well ( Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh)

Yes, Swathi has made a wonderful post explaining the tradition & festivities.

Yes, Mish, you are right, Pongal is celebrated by South India. May be Mishal is gujarati...

They're all the same festival? Oh! 😲 I'm from outside India, so I have no idea. I've never been exposed to any of these festivities. 😳 You're right, he could be Sindhi too. 😊

Oh! I thought his last name was predominant in Punjab, Mish. 😳 Gujju didn't even come to my mind.

Mishal is most probably a Sindhi. Raheja is a common surname among Sindhis.

Mag, I just googled his last name and came up with this:

"Migrated refugees from Pakistan Punjab and Sindhi Hindu/Sikh families with last names ending in -ja are probably Aroras (subcaste of Kshatriya)" - Wikipedia

You're probably right about him being Sindhi. 😊

The Sindhi community is very prominent in Mumbai. . They control a huge part in the business arena here. The Sindhi's have founded and own several premier institutions and colleges here apart from being one of the communities involved in real estate and construction.
