Saqib belongs to Bakarwal tribal community of Kashmir found in every hilly nook of the region.This tribe is also known as Dhangar in several parts of India. They speak Hindi, Urdu, Pahari and Kashmiri, They are the tribes who strictly follow old traditions and customs.They still follow custom of early marriages, where girls are married at an age of 14-15 years and boys at 17-18 years. Mostly they depend on milk products as their staple food besides cereals, wheat and maize.They may be vegetarians and non-vegetarians as well.
