Pathans of Punjab (original) (raw)

The Pathans of Punjab (Punjabi: پنجابی پٹھان; Pashto: د پنجاب پښتانه), also called Punjabi Pathans are originally Pashtun people who have settled in the Punjab region of Pakistan and India. Most of these Pashtun communities are scattered throughout the Punjab and have over time assimilated into the Punjabi society and culture. These non-frontier Pathans are usually known by the town or locality in which they are settled, e.g., Lodhianvi Pathans, Jalandari Pathans, or Lahori.
