  • GabariYusufzai/GhalchaTajiks/AndarabAfghanistan/LastofDinosaurs/SultanFaghalGabari

    Thank goodness for google, whenever I want to understand something or look up a term, I learn something new everyday with its help.

    Not too long ago, you all witnessed as I was maligned and called everything from a Talib to a Paki to a Porki to an Indian to a Panjabi. I was told that my nassl and Muhammadzai/Barakzai bloodline was inadequate and showed that I was not a loyal pashtoon of true blood. How quickly the tide turns.

    Most importantly UnknownPrince, Wrayun and I were accused of being posters on Pak defense sites and other Pakistani sites.

    Nonetheless, despite these charges laid against me, I love all my Muslim brothers whether they be my Kandahar brothers, the Pashtuns on the other side of the durand line, the Tajiks that are fighting for freedom, the dagestanis, the Indian Muslims, the Arabs that are trying their best, the reverts/converts, secularists etc.

    Here is the deal:

    It appears that there are links between Tajiks and one khel of the Yusufzai Pashtuns. It persists to this day per the data below. When I googled the terms, the best information I could find linking the two was by a poster in the Tajik and Paklinks forum.

    I think that this individual/poster, LastoftheDinosaurs and Sultan Faghal Gabari are likely one in the same. They are both prolific posters who appear to be posting more and more often as of the last year.

    First here is an interesting quote from a text book about this division of the Yusufzai from a text book called: History of the Afghans translated from the Persian Neamet Ullah. Volume 4.

    “Although the servaties are not original Afghans, but having adopted the Afghan language and habits, and being mixed up with them, they go by the name of Afghansm abd are numbered among them... They Servatis emigrated to the kingdom of Pakhti, which likes between the dominion of the Yusufzyes and Kashmir, where they reside up this present day. They are broken up into three divisions: 1. Gebri; 2:Mutaravai; 3 Mumiali. The Gebries are said to descend partly from the family of Sultan Ovais, Sultan Bahram, Sultan Pakhal, and Sultan Jehangir... they originally are Tajiks...”

    http://books.google.com/books?id=yTZ...Pakhal&f=false

    Under this site LastoftheDinosaurs/SultanFaghalGaberi writes about his ancestory:

    http://www.paklinks.com/gs/culture-l...ncestry-2.html

    "Time back I got interested in my roots. I found many geneologies of my community that linked us to Hadrat Ali through Sikandar Zulqarnain (probably Alexander the Great), which obviously is ridiculous.

    Anyhow, my first ancestor, according to a 17th Century source, was Sultan Shamus, who had son Sultan Hinda, who had son Sultuan Kehjaman, who was Sultan of "Panj".

    Sultan Kehjaman called Sulatn Panj had two sons; Sultan *Bahram and Sultan *Pakhal. Sultan Pakhal established rule at Swat, Bajaur, Hazara, and Kashmir (Pakhli a place in Hazara Division is named after him). Sultan Bahram established rule at Nangarhar, Laghman, and Panjsher. This probably happened in the first half of 14th Century.

    when Amir Taimur attacked India (1398), at that time, Sultan Qiran, grand son of Sultan Behram was ruling his domain in Laghman and Nangarhar. Sultan Qiran was defeated but left as a local ruler by Amir Taimur.

    Last notable person in my ancestry was Malak Daud Pai who lived somehere in 1450-1480.

    When Yousafzai Pashtuns were doing north-eastward migration from Kabul to Peshawar Valley and Swat, my community moved with them as allies and then were assimilated in Yousazai as a new "khel" or clan and are now called "Papin Khel".

    After a thorough research about my roots I roughly established that my ancestors came from Andarab in Northern Afghanistan and most probably were Galcha Tajiks (also called mountain Tajiks).

    A 17th Century source says that some of our ancestors also moved to Kashmir. I heard there are some Andarabis there. Do they have some relation to Andarab of Nortern Afghanistan?"

    LastoftheDinosaurs/SultanFaghalGabari wrote under the Tajik forum the following:

    "Sultan Kehjaman called Sulatn Panj had two sons; Sultan Bahram and Sultan Pakhal.

    Most ominously, he posts here and says the following to his Tajik comrades regarding the nexus between the Tajiks and Pakistan:

    "Sohrab, on 05 October 2010 - 12:44 AM, said:
    is there any website/forum for the tajiks of paksitan? i know one site for wakhi tajiks, but any other one? or do the gabars have any society?


    bro gabaris are strong people like i told you before dont know about internet but we do have two MNAs and 8 MPAs many army generals and federal sectretaries."

    Finally, I saw this today and this sparked my desire to understand more about all the aforementioned:

    So, I can't figure out what was their religion before Islam...I think the names indicate they were Zorostrian...But that is only a speculation....

    I think some of the easternly Pashtuns i.e., the Karlanris might be Hindus and Pagans...the westernly one might be Zorostrian....there might also be nwar parast...But again one can say nothing with certainty...
    Nonetheless, welcome my brother, I truly accept you as a guest on our Pashtoon grounds and look forward to getting to know you. No matter what your blood line or your true country of origin (if it is Pakistan) or your nassl, you will always be my Muslim brother.

    All the best,

    My hope with the above post is that this does not cause anyone to be maligned, but merely shows the folks reading and learning from the posts that not everything is as it seems. Always be careful of challenging people's origins unless you are ready to defend your own. All ideas ought to be welcome regardless of wherever that individual is from and whichever side of the Durand line he or she is from. Pashtuns have the right to know when other ethnic groups such as the Tajik are staking a claim to Pashtun nationalism. My hope is that this shows you that just because someone loves and supports Islam does not make them nonpashtoon or a tool of the ISI or automatically living on Pakistani soil.

      Let us never be divided Pashtun brothers by any others that seek to utilize these divisive terms and that may be not representing our best interests in all of this struggle.

        Hi BarakzaiAbdali, good research....There is a book written by Allama Abdul Haye Habibi with the title "Da Afghanistan Land Tarikh" or "Tarikh-i-Mukhthasar Afghanistan". There is a chapter in it about this whole thing.

          Brother it is not to divide. The administrators are more than welcome to remove it if it suits them, but I would request a reason as it stands as a stark warning to all those that think that the Pashtoon can be bought, sold, or easily led around by the nose. We are not dumb and we are not fooled so easily. My point in this was simply to show that when we have someone calling others unfaithful to the Pashtoon cause and shouting pashtun nationalism to the top of their lungs we have to what the goals of this individual might be. Is it to divide brother from brother further? There are Tajik and Uzbek and Panjabi brothers are want the same thing for the Pashtuns as the Pashtuns want for themselves, to be free of tyranny. There are others amongst them that seek to divide us into the religious and fundementalist camps and the nationalist camps and to further this divide.

          I have not taken my badal right and I will not take it. I will leave it to my Pashtun brothers on the forum to determine for themselves in their own jirgays what this thread presents as data and what conclusions one draws from the data.

            This is not a divisive thread, but maybe BarakzaiAbdali is telling you to make up your mind.

            Think?? You are talking of Pashtun nationalism!!!
            I think the confused party is the whoever posted that section on the tajik forum where, when he is asked by another Tajik about the influence of Tajiks in the military and in Pakistan, he answers as follows:

            "Sohrab, on 05 October 2010 - 12:44 AM, said:
            is there any website/forum for the tajiks of paksitan? i know one site for wakhi tajiks, but any other one? or do the gabars have any society?


            bro gabaris are strong people like i told you before dont know about internet but we do have two MNAs and 8 MPAs many army generals and federal sectretaries."

            So whoever, wrote this identifies as a Tajik and a Pakistani before all else. Per the textual quote the Gabari khel is that exact khel that was taken in by the Yusufzai. This in no way means that all Gabari khels are not pashto speaking etc. It simply means whoever this poster is identifies with the Tajik cause.

              Bacha khabara da da, chai, there are many members e.g. Baygham, etc. on this board that know me personally. In fact, I have relatives on this board as well.

              I didn't write on any other forum except Pashtun forums. I don't know who the other guys writing on the other forums are....Actually, this Sultan Pakhal, Bahram, etc. is a standard story quoted in many books...so every body mentions it....

              By the way many Pashtun politicians(stalwarts), poets, literary figures, singers, etc. know me and can testify to it who am I. My mother was a papin-khel, actually I traced my mother line...and rest of the family, Zarif Khel....

              We have got property and are an educated family....

                  It matters not a wit or a lick to me brother. Once again, under the banner of la illaha illAllah you are my brother regardless. However on that same pakistani forum here is another post with the highlights that stand out and is about a third of the way down the page at this link:

                    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

                    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


                    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

                      I know Toramana personally. This thread just made me laugh lol. He is one of the biggest critics of Tajiks on PF and here you are claiming he is one. BarakzaiAbdali while you are certainly one of the most respect members here, don't make silly claims.

                        By the way BarakzaiAbdali, I will be the last person to care about what your clan or tribe is (which is a petty thing for me) as long as you are a good human being and a patriotic Pashtun (standing for the genuine rights of Pashtuns that don't impinge on the rights of others).
