Khosa Gotra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khoshya (Hindi: खोश्याh) is a gotra[1] of Yaduvanshi Ahirs of Haryana. According to historian Richard Gabriel Fox, Khoshya was dominant clan in Ahirwal whose ancestors occupied by force some Gujjar villages in Jhadavas. One of the descendants of this clan, Chowdhari Deepchand was a sardar in the army of Emperor Alamgir II (1754–59).[2][3]
It is considered a Gotra in Haryana, but on a different note, it is also found as a surname in the Brahmin community of Kashmir, known as the Kashmiri Pandits
