He said Gujjars  and Bakerwals  shared same  history, culture, language and ethnic identity. Even all anthropological and genetic studies conducted on Gujjars-Bakerwals  confirm that they were not separate entities but one, he added.

He said in 1991 when the Gujjars-Bakerwals were granted Tribal status in Jammu and Kashmir, a study was conducted by Union Government of India before granting  the Scheduled Tribe Status to them which revealed that Bakerwal is another name of Gujjars.

Cautioning people against any divisive forces in view of the recent reports of division between Gujjars-Bakerwals while some non tribal groups of Jammu Division were said to instigate a wrong war to divide Gujjar community, the speakers laid stress on the ethnic oneness of the community.
