Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi

The Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi (Urdu: پنجابی سوداگران دہلی), sometimes referred to as the Qaum-e-Punjabian (Punjabi and Urdu: قوم پنجابیان), Dehlawi, or simply Shamsi Biradari are a merchant community that historically came from Sargodha and Chiniot districts in West Punjab and settled mainly in Old Delhi, India. The community got established in Delhi during the tenure of Sa'adullah Khan Chinioti, the Punjabi Grand Vizier of Shah Jahan, in the 17th century.

They also settled in a number of other cities, chiefly Kolkata, and towns in western Uttar Pradesh, such as Agra, Aligarh, Meerut, Moradabad, Bareilly, Rampur, Kanpur; including areas within western Uttar Pradesh that now fall in the state of Uttarakhand; namely Roorkee, Nainital and Haldwani. After the partition of India, and subsequent independence of Pakistan in 1947, many members of the community migrated to Pakistan, particularly Karachi and Lahore.

They are divided into various lineages and some also use Multani, Goronwalay, Beri, Kathuria, Bathla, Allahwalay, Namoonay Walay, Taar-Gitti Walay, Lahore Walay, Chawla, Chandna, Sarwana, etc., as a title.
