The Dogar are a Punjabi people of Muslim heritage (bradari). 'Dogar' is commonly used as a last name.
History
Dogar people settled in Punjab during the Medieval period.
In the late 17th century, the Dogars residing within the faujdari of Lakhi Jangal (in present-day Multan) were among the tribes that challenged the authority of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
In 1808, a Dogar state was established, under the patronage of British, in Ferozepur to counter Ranjit Singh.
In literature
In the Sufi poet Waris Shah's tragic romance of 1766, Heer Ranjha, Dogars are revered for their wisdom (along with Jats and other agricultural groups).
