In India, Chauhans are predominantly Hindu.
Some Chauhan Rajputs of the Doab region of Punjab also adopted Sikhism and are called Sikh Rajputs, not to be confused with Jat Chohans of the Punjab (who happen to write the transliteration of their name in English differently).
85 villages of chauhan's lies in western uttarpradesh, in the district of Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Agra Etc. Village Davkoura lies in Bulandshahr have 75% population of Chauhan's.
Chohan/Chauhans belong to a select group of clans that are Muslim, Sikhs and Hindus. While the transliteration in english can give a clue as to the origins of the individual, a particular spelling is no guarantee of where the name originates. Muslim Chohans are found found in parts of Pakistani Punjab. One small village (Dohok Chohan, in Rawalpindi district)is according to word of mouth history inhabited exclusively by Chohans, who can claim descent from one male ancestor. By some strange genetic coincidence for such a small village a large number of men have excelled in military service right from WW I&II with The British East Indian Army then with The Pakistan Army post partition.
