Yes bro, sialkot district. Most sikhs in J and K migrated from poonch, rajauri, bagh, mirpur and kotli areas of j and K. Some migrated from Potohar plateau. Essentially they are paharis and speak that dialect of Punjabi. Looks vary a lot so cannot generalize. You will essentially find a whole spectrum of looks within a given community. Some punjabi jatts can be very fair eg KPS Gill. I know a lot of dogra rajputs from jammu region whom you will not be able to distinguish from west punjabis. The gujjars from J and K actually look quite different
Yea you're right about a lot of things. Sikhs in J&K are either Punjabi Jatts, Dogra Sikhs, or paharis from Poonch or Potohar. One thing that is interesting is that in J&K, you see a lot of people with coloured eyes compared to other neighbouring areas like West Punjab and East Punjab.
