According to thy mmhe census of 1901 the population of Muslim Rajputs was described as :
"The whole Province of Punjab had a 24.4 million population in 1901, of which the Muslim Rajputs numbered 1,505,586. In 1901, the Punjab comprised five administrative divisions — Delhi, Jullunder, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi — and a number of princely states. During the course of the Census, those districts that lay across the Indus which formed the Peshawar Division were formed into a new province named the North West Frontier Province. Geographically, the province was a triangular tract of country of which the Indus River and its tributary the Sutlej formed the two sides up to their confluence, the base of the triangle in the north being the Lower Himalayan Range between those two rivers. Moreover, the province as constituted under British rule also included a large tract outside these boundaries. Along the northern border, Himalayan ranges divided it from Kashmir and Tibet. On the west it was separated from the North-West Frontier Province by the Indus, until it reached the border of Dera Ghazi Khan District, which was divided from Baluchistan by the Sulaiman Range. To the south lay Sindh and Rajputana, while on the east the rivers Jumna and Tons separated it from the United Provinces."
More details as to the origin and distribution of the some Rajputs tribes:
Tribe /Population /Distribution
Bhatti /249,302 /throughout Punjab, but special concentrations in Bhatiana (Firuzpur/Hissar/Sirsa), Bhatiore (Jhang/Chiniot), Gujranwala and Rawalpindi
Chauhan/ 114,529 /Modern Haryana (especially Karnal and Panipat), Ambala, and central Punjab – the Karnal, Rohtak and Rewari Chauhan are a Ranghar tribe.
The term Ranghar is very rarely used by the community itself, who prefer the self-designation Muslim Rajput
. The Ranghar were classified as an "agricultural tribe" by the
British Raj administration.
The Ranghar can be roughly divided into sub-groups, conveniently divided by the
Yamuna river. Those to the west of the river remained as pastoralists much longer than the Yamuna Ranghar, who were all settled agriculturist by the start of the 19th century. The
partition of India further divided these two groups, with the trans Yamuna Ranghar emigrating to Pakistan, while those of the Doab region remaining in India.
In Haryana, the Ranghar spoke a dialect of their own, called Ranghari, which is itself a dialect of
Haryanvi, and many in Pakistan still use the language. Those of Uttar Pradesh speak
Khari Boli among themselves, and
Urdu with outsiders.
