Topic: pashtun tribes Posted: 17-Aug-2006 at 04:00 |
Afridis
Afridi is a pashtun tribe. Their original limits probably included the safed koh range, north of the kabul, and south of the kurram river. Now, they occupy the eastern Safed Koh region and northern pakistan. Some of afridis also live in panipat and malihabad districts of india.
The term Afridi is possibly derived from the Aparyatea or Aparutia, which is pronounced today in the local community as Aparidai.
Afridis are one of the most finest tribe of pashtuns.They are very light in complexation ,some with green eyes and brown hairs.On average they are 5.8 feet tall. they are unmatchable in their bravery.they are known to be tough and very knowledgeable

==Durranis==
Durrani tribe is one of the two largest pashtun tribes of afghanistan and is also found in large numbers in western pakistan. They are estimated to be roughly 20% of the population of Afghanistan and number around 7 million there with another 1-2 million found in Pakistan and hundreds of thousands also live in northeast iran. The Durrani are the most "Persianized" of pashtun tribes, often bilingual in dari, as well as arguably being among the most urbanized and educated of the Pashtuns in Afghanistan.
The Durrani have been prominent leaders, as the royal family of Afghanistan is derived from the tribe, and a substantial number of Durrani are bureaucrats and public officials, as well as businessmen and merchants. durranis in pakistan are inhabitat in multan, attock districts of punjab and other parts of punjab. Most of Duranis outside NWFP have lost their ancsestral langauge.

Niazis speak the mianwali language which is mixup of pushto and local mianwali language totally different from other languages like saraikee and hindko rather than their ancestral pashto but nevertheless strictly observe pashtunwali, the Pashtun code of honor. The Niazi tribe is an influential player in the politics of Pakistan especially Punjab.

Lodhis
Lodhi or Lodi s a pashtun tribe, most likely a sub-group of the ghilazi of afghanistan and pakistan who were part of a wave of Pashtuns who pushed east into what is today Pakistan and india. Often accompanying the turkic who conquered south asia, the Lodhi established themselves during the Islamic period in South Asia as a muslim ruling class and were valued warriors.
Lodhis of nowadays almost all live in punjab and india.Due ot interrmarrages with locals they do not look like pashtuns, also do not speak pashto.Among colonies of lodhis , the lodhis of lodhiabad ( kashmir) have retained most of the features of pashtuns. Lodhis are generally very tall.

Most of the Indian "Pathans" arent Pathans. They're mostly Indian with the odd Pathan in their ancestry.
Are you a Rajput btw?

Lodhi's are a pathan tribe. I don't know for certain but I wouldn't
think that there would be many/any hindus with the surname lodhi, so I
don't see how there could be a Gujar sub-caste.

Yes, rohillas of Bareilly/Rampur and bangashes of farrukhabdad are pathans and have produced many pathan notables. They have unique place in pashtun world because
1-their features are not of pashtun due intermarraiges with local muslims.
2-they have lost their ancestral langauge due to long peroid of separation
from mainland.
i do not know that indian pathans follow pashtunwali or not. If they have retain pashtun traditions and characteristics than they are ofcourse pathans.
