history of malik awans

i want to know the origin and history of malik awans ..plz anyone can tell me abt it

Re: history of malik awans

i used to be one!

Re: history of malik awans

It depends what kind of malik awan you are. I am Qutub Shahi and we are decendants of Hazrat Ali (but we are not Syeds).

Re: history of malik awans

Yeah i am also Qutb shai awan. Whatever that means. I don't know much, but the background is landlords or zameendars.

Re: history of malik awans

As far as I know they did a linage trace on awans and they turned out to have a linkage with Pashtuns/Afghans.

A lot of Sayeds/Bukharis/Arabs came through Afghanistan to spread Islam. When they came to Afghanistan and the area of Bulkh, they adapted and intermarried, then they moved on to the northern areas of Pakistan, from there to India, and from there further down.

Most of them were not fighters or anything; they were just traders by profession though their objective was to spread Islam. Yet a lot of them who settled in the northern areas did lead major fights against Maharatas, Rajputs, Sikhs and the British.

Re: history of malik awans

hmm im malik awan too but i dono what kind ...

Re: history of malik awans

iori yagami is that actually yr family name

Re: history of malik awans

Wow so we are distant relatives. As far as I know Qutub Shah was some religious figure that was in Iraq for a little bit and then came to Pakistan. My ancestors were settled close to Terbela and then one of the brothers decided that the air is not that good there so he started walking and ended up close to Mansehra-Abbottabad about 300 years ago. Since then we are there.

Re: history of malik awans

There’s theories that the original Hindu Rajputs were the same stock as Afghans/Pashtuns too but these are just baseless theories, I know plenty of Awans and none talk of affiliation with Afghans, not everyone who came through the Khyber pass was ethnically Pashtun/Pukhtoon (ethnic Afghan).

Re: history of malik awans

i thought Awans is one clan of rajputs.
I am also a qutab shahi but a Khokhar Rajput.

Re: history of malik awans

Yeah I suppose we are distant relatives:) As for my family, they settled near the Khewra and Chakwaal areas, you find many Awans there.
