Comment

Bawa belongs to Jatt clan and is also a title given to the descendants of first three Sikh gurus. They are mainly found in northern India.

In some parts of India, people claim themselves to be Bawa but are Brahmins. Since they belong to a different religion and culture, they are different from those who belong to Sikh religion.
