2 and Sher Shah Siii-. These naturally belonged to the Ghilzai section from
3 which those kings sprang-. But large numbers of Pathans also accompanied
4 the armies of ISfahmud Ghaznavi^ Shahiib-ul-din, and Babar, and many of
5 them olitained grants of land in the Panjab plains and founded Pathan
6 colonies which still exist. Many more Pathans have been driven out of
7 Afghanistan liv internal feuds or by famine, and have taken refuge in the
8 plains east of the Indus. The tribes most commonly to be found in
9 Hindustan are the Yiisufzai including the Mandanr, the Lodi, Kakai',
10 Sarwani, Orakzai, the Karlanri trilies and the Zamand Pathans. Of these
11 the most widely distribirted are the Yusufzai of whom a body of 1,200
12 accompanied Babar in his final invasion of India, and settled in the plains of
13 Hindustan and the Panjiib. But as a rule the Pathans who have settled
14 away from the frontier have lost all memory of their tribal divisions, and
15 indeed almost all their national chai'acteristics.
16 The descendants of Zamand very early migrated in large numbers to
17 jMultan, to which Province they fiu'nished rulers till the time of Aurangzeb ;
18 when a number of the Abdali tribe under the leadership of Shah Hnsen were
19 driven from Kandahar by tribal feuds^ took refuge in Multiin, and being
20 early supplemented by other of their kinsmen who were expelled by Mir
21 Wais, the great Ghilzai Chief, conquered Multan and founded the tribe well
22 known in the Panjab as IMultani Pathans. Nawab ]\Iuzaffar Khan of jMultau
23 was fourth in descent from Shah Husen. When the Zamand section was
24 broken up, the Khweshgi clan migrated to the Ghorband defile, and a large
25 number marched thence with Babar and found great favour at his hands and
26 those of Humayun. One section of them settled at Kasur, and are now
27 known as Kasuria Pathans. The Pathans of Guriiini and Gohiina in Rohtak
28 are Kakai'. They are said to have settled in the time of Ibrahim Lodi. Those
29 of Jhajjar in the same district are said to be Yusufzai. In the time of Bahlol
30 Lodi, Sarhind was ruled by mendjers of the Prangi tribe from which he
31 sprang, and many of this tribe are still to be found in Ludhianah, Rupar,
32 and the north of Ambala. The reigning family of Maler Kotla belong to
33 the Saripal clan of the Sarwani Afghans, who, as already related, were driven
34 out of Afghanistan by the Mian Khel and Bakhtiar in the time of Humayun,
35 Jahangir, for what reason I do not know, deported the Mita Khel sept of the
36 Afiidi to Hindustan ; and some of the Afghans of Piinipat and Ludhianah
37 are said to be descended from this stock.

39 414. The Tanaoli (Caste No, 54). — The Tamloli are said to claim
40 descent from Amir Khan, a Barlas Mughal, whose two sons Hind Khan and
41 Pal Khan crossed the Indus some four centuries ago and settled in Tanawal
42 of Hazara ; and they say that they are named after some other place of the
43 same name in Afghanistan. But there can be little doubt that they are of
44 Ai-yan and probably of Indian stock. We first find them in the trans-Indus
45 basin of the Mahaban, from which they were driven across the Indus by the
46 Yusufzai some two centuries ago. They now occupy Tanawal or the ex-
47 tensive hill country between the river and the Urash plains. They are
48 divided into two great tribes, the Hindwal and Pallal, of which the latter
49 occupy the northern portion of Tanawal, and their ten'itory forms the jugir of
50 the semi-independent Chief of Amb. Of the 40,000 Hazara Tanaolis, 8,737
51 have returned themselves as Pallal, 1,964 as Dafral, a sept of the Pallal, and
