Answer 2

First of all Ahluwalia surname adopted by sardar jassa singh Ahluwalia ,his followers are called Ahluwalia or walia people .They are Sikh and non sikh both and considered a royal caste in Punjab,haryana,Delhi,himachal etc.only ramgadhia,saini are the sikh castes that fall in obc list.don't try to say Ahluwalia is low.

The Ahluwalia misl was founded by Sadho (also called Sadhu or Sadao) Singh, a Kalal or wine distiller. The misl rose to prominence under his grandson Jassa Singh Ahluwalia. Originally known as Jassa Singh Kalal, he styled himself as Ahluwalia after his ancestral village of Ahlu, and established the ruling dynasty of Kapurthala State. Since the Kalals held a low status in the traditional caste hierarchy, other Sikh Kalals also adopted the Ahluwalia identity. They gave up their traditional occupations, as they gained political power and as the colonial British administration started regulating distribution and sale of liquor.

The Ahluwalias further tried to enhance their social status by claiming Khatri or Rajput descent A legendary account traces the ancestry of the Kapurthala royal family to the Bhatti Rajput royal family of Jaisalmer (and ultimately to Krishna through Salibahan). According to this narrative, a group of Bhattis migrated to Punjab, where they came to be known as Jats, and became Sikhs. The account states that Sadho Singh and his four sons married into Kalal families, because of which the family came to be known as Ahluwalia Kalal. Lepel Griffin (1873), a British administrator who wrote on the history of Punjab's rulers, dismissed this account connecting the Ahluwalias to the Jaisalmer royal family as spurious.[5] The Sikh author Gian Singh, in his Twarikh Raj Khalsa (1894), noted that the Ahluwalia family had adopted the Kalal caste identity much before Sadho Singh
