History

Before the Partition of India, Baddoki Gosaian was home to Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians. In 1947, Hindu and Sikh families migrated to India, and Muslim families moved from there into the village. Today, while there is a small Christian community, the majority of the population is Muslim.USMAN QADOOS Inter National Player from this village..He Got Gold Medal in WORLD MILITRY GAMES 2018 MOSCOW RUSSIA...
