The diffusion of Islam has traditionally been given the credit for this unusual disappearance of intra-caste solidarity and inter-caste antagonism in Kashmir. The old identities now survive among Kashmiri Muslims only as surnames such as Bhat, Mattoo and Katju, and kram or clan names such as Dar, Lone and Tantri, with no corresponding system of caste identification or endogamous exclusivity.
