Khatri word in Punjabi is thought to be variant of kshatriya in Sanskrit. In western districts of the Punjab (Sargodha, Mianwali, Murree, Attock, Chakwal, Rawalpindi and Gujrat, Gujranwala), converted Khatri traders called themselves "Sheikh", a family title or surname which is carried on up to their current generations throughout Pakistani Punjab. HistoryKhatris have sometimes expanded into agriculture. Although a large number of Khatris are Muslims. The conversion started in 12th century. In western districts of the Punjab (Sargodha, Mianwali, Multan, Jhang, Chakwal, Rawalpindi,Eminabad and Faislabad) converted Khatri traders called themselves "Khoja". Some time they are called "Khoja Shaikh". With the advent of Islam following conquests by Turkic tribes from Central Asia from the 11th century on wards, there were conversions of Hindus to the faith from among various Punjabi communities, including Khatris. Generally they retained their tribal and clan affiliations as has been the norm in the region. Similarly, the Khatris who converted to Islam continue to retain a strong social identity and are known as Punjabi Shaikh.
