Handa clan

Handa (Punjabi:ਹਾਂਡਾ, ہانڈا; Hindi:हाँडा) is a prominent Khatri clan originating from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan.Handas are all Punjabi's and are Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. Many Handa's trace their origin to the former Indian and now Pakistani districts of Punjab: Lahore, Gujranwala, and Gujrat. Lakhanwal Khas and Jalalpur Jattan are two towns within the Gujrat district that many Handa's trace their ancestry to. After the India-Pakistan partition many Handa's had left their native homes in Pakistan and relocated to various parts of Northern India. Many Handa's can be found in regions like Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Kashmir and Rajasthan. Some Handa families may also be found in mid and southern parts of India; especially those families that are a part of the Indian armed forces.
