The Mirpuri diaspora consists of Pahari people originating from the Mirpur Division (the districts of Kotli, Mirpur and Bhimber) of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan, now living outside that district. Migration from Mirpur started occurring in the 1920s, when many Mirpuris left for Bombay to work on merchant ships.
