Kang (tribe)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kang is one of the tribes of the Jat people. Most of the people of this tribe live in north India, mostly in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. It is believed by many local people of Punjab and people of Kang tribe that their ancestors (Jathere) were based at the village of Dholi-Moli near Balachor, close to the Chandigarh-Jalandhar highway in Punjab, about 70 kms from Chandigarh. The also have a place of worship at this village which is only for Kang people. Twice every year they have a ceremony (one at very next day of diwali and one in year when all other people go to their ancestor place) at this village where they even have public lunch and bull races to praise their ancestors.
The Kang tribe also has also migrated to the UK in the 1970's and created a following largely in the Walsall area of the West Midlands. It is there that they are currently thought to be twinned with the "1crew" to form a new found brotherhood consisting of many tribes such as the Sohal, Rai, Ark, Thinsa and Gosal tribes. All are bound by the 1crew brotherhood which continues to grow and consists of many races & casts.
