Kathua

Jammu Division has a Hindu majority, unlike Jammu and Kashmir as a whole, which has a Muslim majority. The native language of Jammu is Dogri. The people in Jammu have cultural similarities with their Punjabi neighbours to the south and during certain periods of history were ruled by Punjabi Maharajas, but the hilly terrain of the land in contrast with the plains of Punjab has also made the people distinct in many ways.
