History of Chupka or Chupka Titles

The title of Chupka or Chupka is not only in the Almora district of Uttarakhand, but in the present Punjab province of Pakistan, Soviet Union, America, Czech Republic and Germany. Except India and Pakistan, the title Chupka or Chupka in the world comes from Germany, possibly a rearrangement of the East German Schupke, which is a shortened form of the Slavic personal name Czepan (a vernacular form of the Latin Stefanus), and partly Middle Low German schup is a surname from 'fish scale', or from Middle High German schup 'delay', possibly from 'delay' (a nickname for a diminutive or indecisive person).

In India and Pakistan, Chupka or Chupka title came from Punjab which the people who settled in Chupka village of Punjab added after their name or possibly this village was known as Chupka due to the abundance of title Brahmins. The village of Chupka is still known from the village of Chupka in Punjab, which has now taken the form of a town. As per 2011 census information, the location code or village code of Chupka village is 039469. Chupka village is located in Malerkotla Tehsil of Sangrur district in Punjab, India. It is located 13 km from sub-district headquarter Malerkotla and 47 km from district headquarter Sangrur. As per 2009 stats, Chupka village is also a gram panchayat. The total geographical area of the village is 240 hectares. Chupaka has a total population of 1,088 people. There are about 211 houses in Chupka village. The nearest town to Chupka is Malerkotla.

In pre-existing existence, this village was a famous village of Chupka-Punjabi-Brahmins among the Brahmins of Punjab who were famous by the name of Bharatdwaj Gotri Karmakandi Brahmins. With the rise of Sikh community in India, almost families started migrating, because now they were no longer as prosperous with Hindu hosts as before. Those who could not follow, influenced by the words of the Guru, started following the Sikh sect i.e. became Sardars or Sikhs.

Those who migrated, some of them went south towards Maharashtra and after adopting other Brahmin titles which were sagotris, they engaged in ritualistic activities with them. But some families migrated to the north of the country to retain their Chupka title with their original karma, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, India; but since 2000 is known Uttarakhand.

The original business of Chupka Brahmins is no longer visible, but due course of time or reading distortion the title Chupka is now known by the title of Chhupka. This distortion is probably due to its regional pronunciation. To be noted that there are still Chupka Sikhs living in Punjab. The Chupkas who went from Punjab to Canada are still Chupka Christians. Even today, Chupka Muslims migrated to Pakistan from the influence of the Mughals still existing with this very first and centuries back title.. 2409:4053:D8C:2673:CC8:A886:D46:9A9B (talk) 10:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
