Among Our People

My grandfather used to tell us stories about our village in Poonch. Life was simple, but people were full of love and respect for each other.

Beautiful view of our ancestral village during spring. Nothing beats the peace of our mountains.

The Gorsi clan is a subgroup of the Gujjars. We settled across Punjab, Azad Kashmir, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — carrying a pastoral and agricultural tradition forward.

How did your family keep Gojri alive at home? I would love to hear the phrases, lullabies, or stories that were passed down — even a few words matter.

Weddings, harvest days, and the small courtesies at the door — these are the traditions that still make a Gorsi house feel like home, wherever we live now.

A photograph from my father's first journey to the city. He kept this print in a tin box with our family papers. I am sharing it so it is not only a drawer memory.
