Hajjam
Hajjam, alternately pronounced and spelled as Hajaam or Hajam, are an ethnic group found in North India and Pakistan. In Pakistan, they are settled in Sindh and Punjab provinces. The word Hajaam is derived from the Urdu word ''Hajaamat'' which in Urdu means barber and hairdresser. They are also known as the Khalifa and in Uttar Pradesh as the Salamani.
==History and origins==
Most Hajjams are Muslims. They are considered as an economically backward community in India, concentrated in North India.〔People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two by K S Singh page 1050〕 They are also found in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab in Pakistan.〔A Glossary of the Tribes & Castes of Punjab by H. A Rose〕
Their traditional occupation has been that of a barber and hairdresser. The word "Hajaam" is derived from the Urdu word "Hajaam" (barber), itself coming from the Arabic word hijama. Most Hajjams are Sunni Muslims, although there is a small minority, particularly in the Awadh region who are Shia.〔 They claim descent from the Prophet Soloman or Sulaiman, and often call themselves Salmani. Historically, they have been concenterated in the Awadh region, but are found throughout North India and in Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan.
