History

H.A. Rose mentions Khoria in Kakkezai of Afghan:

Kakkezai (कक्केजई) is a class of Muhammadan traders found all over India and as far west as Kandahar. They claim to be by descent Afghans of Seistan, who sprang from Kakka, a son of Karn, and the nucleus of the class may well be a pure Pathan clan. But the sections of the Kakkezai include such names as Bhursi, Malak, Kethaie, Kasoliya Shaikh, Vansare and Nakhasria, and in Sialkot. Bale, Bhagirath, Chandi, Handa, Khoria, Wadrath and Wanjotra, which hardly point to an Afghan origin and lend colour to the theory that the Kakkezai were, like the Khoja, Hindus converted at an early period of the Muhammadan invasions and affiliated to a Pathan clan. A family at Pasrur in Sialkot is called Mir Daha, and the office of that name at Bajwara in Hoshiarpur was held by a Kakkezai family in 1120 Hijri. In the Jullundur Doab a branch of the Kakkezais, entitled Shaikhs, rose to eminence during Sikh times and even gave governors to Kashmir. The community is an influential and enterprising one in the Punjab.
