I invite knowledgeable members to ascertain accuracy of this document:


http://www.scribd.com/doc/15687191/P...ukhtun-Tribes-

It is a tribal structure map in list format.

Please comment on accuracy with particular emphasis on:
Baitane bracketed as Ghilji
Sarban bracketed as Durani
Correct place of each subtribe under relevant main tribe
Omissions and Additions

For instance:
1)Under Gharghast tribe, the subtribe (12)Sapai (safi) appear.
I can confirm from other sources (Khyber.org) that safi belong to Gharghast tribe.

2)under Sarban(Durani), the subtribe (31) Momand appear.
I can confirm Momand appear correctly placed under Sarban tribe, however the intermediate sub-tribe Ghoria Khel linking Sarban to Momand is not indicated (www.freewebs.com/mohmands)

3)bracketing of Sarban as Durani - no evidence available to confirm or refute.

4)Under Sarban, sub-tribe (18) is Saakzai. No evidence to support this. However ScimitarX has claimed sakzai to be Ghilji.

So please look at the structure see if you find any anomalies.

Manana

There are some wrongs i have seen in some of these structure maps regarding paktyawal tribes...for others i can't say much.

Thanks. Please comment what is incorrect, give me specific detail. I'll compile it and after some time map out a new tribe tree.

There is a far superior Pashtun Qabiley book written by Dr. Latif Yaad. It has been recently updated as well.

You can download the PDF e-book from Khyber.org:

thanks!!!!
i will look into it. the books i have seen are by the english who were in india, not what i am looking for.

Dr. Latif Yaad's book is a lot more in detail and adds footnotes on prominent figures that are not known by the Western World. You will like it a lot better.

midnightsun, latif yada book stops after 'kaaf'. where is the other part? you know, 'laam, meem, nun . . . '
