{{Main|Attarwala}}
The Attarwala of India claim to be descended from a group of Mughal Hazara soldiers who were initially settled in Agra, during the rule of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. According to their recorded documents, they then migrated to Ahmedabad via Gwalior, Ratlam and Godhra. This migration followed their participation of the community in the 1857 Indian War of Independence. Once settled in Gujarat, the community took up the occupation of manufacturing of perfumes known as ittars. The word attarwala means the manufacturer of perfumes. A second migration took place in 1947 from Agra, after the partition of India, with some members immigrating to Pakistan, while others joining their co-ethnics in Ahmedabad. The Attarwala are now found mainly in Ahmedabad, while those in Pakistan are found mainly in Karachi.{{cite book |title= Gujarat |volume= XXI |series= People of India Part One |editor-last= Singh |editor-first= KS |chapter= Attarwalla |last= Mohideen |first= AM |pages= 78–81 |isbn= 9788179911044 |date= 2003 |publisher= Popular Prakashan |chapter-url= https://books.google.com/books?id=4Cy_-FXW9BQC&pg=PA78}}
