The grandfather of Kanera tribe had got married from Jat tribe and his family refused to accept this marriage. So Kanera went to Jat tribe and take shelter there and used to live with them. The Kanera tribes were Jatt by profession (Jatt are the one who keep camels and goats), so these are the two reasons that some people considered Kanera from Jat tribe.
