With that short history now we come to iacts:


Lohana is short form of Lohar Ranas because as per the recorded history Lohanas ruled over Kashmir from AD 1003 to 1338. It has been recorded as Lohar dynasty-I and Loha dynasty-II and subsequently rulers from the same clan upto 1338, after which there were mass conversions to Islam. Many of us migrated under compulsion to Punjab, Sindh, Kutch and Gujarat and today they are known as Punjabi-Lohanas, Sindhi-Lohanas, Kutchi - Lohanas, Halai-Lohanas, Depalas and Goghari-Lohanas. Those who resisted the conversions and/or migrations, were killed and there was mass holocaust as recorded in Kashmir history.
