Some people today may use the surname Ladhar because they live in villages or towns named Ladhar, but this does not change the original clan identity, which belongs to the Jat community. I have explained that some Scheduled Caste peoples write this name in their last name because they live in Ladhar-named villages or places. Scheduled castes are not Jat castes, like the (Chamar and Chura) community. The harmony that these castes have with these castes is like that of Aujla, Aulak, Bhullar, Bains, Bahia, Cheema, Dhaliwal, Dhindsa, Deol, Gill, Grewal, Gosal, Hanjra, Hundal, Johal, Jawanda, Khalon, Kaler, Khaira, Kang, Lail, Mann, Mangat, Mahal, Mander, Narwal, Pander, Pannu, Sandhu, Sidhu, Sra, Vir, etc.
