Is Imran Khan pathan? Please bring sources that say he’s pathan. I don’t think he is pathan because he doesn’t act like them and no pathani accent. Also, as far as I have seen, he doesn’t seem to know Pushtu.

source: Imran Khan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khan was born to Shaukat Khanum and Ikramullah Khan Niazi, a civil engineer, in Lahore. A quiet and shy boy in his youth, Khan grew up in a upper middle-class family with four sisters.[4]](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/#cite_note-NS_profile-3) Settled in Punjab, Khan’s father descended from the Niazi Shermankhel (pashtun) tribe of Mianwali

The Niazis
The Bannuchis must have been settled down for nearly two centuries before the Niazai irruption into Marwat took place. The Niazais are Lodis, and occupied the hills about Salghar which are now held by the Suleman Khels, until a feud with the Ghilzais compelled them to migrate elsewhere. Marching south by east, the expelled tribe found a temporary resting place in Tank. There the Niazais Lived for several generations occupying themselves as traders and carriers, as do their kinsmen the Lohani Pawandahs in the present day. At length towards the close of the fifteenth century, numbers spread north into the plain now known as Marwat, and squatted there as graziers, and perhaps too as cultivators, on the banks of the Kuram and Gambila, some fifteen miles below the Bannuchi Settlements. There they lived in peace for about fifty years, when the Marwat Lohanis, a younger branch of the Lodi group, swarmed into the country after them, defeated them in battle, and drove them across the Kurram at Tang Darra in the valley beyond which they found a final home. At the time of the Niazai irruption, Marwat seems to have been almost uninhabited except by a sprinkling of pastoral Jats; but the bank of the Indus apparently supported a considerable Jat and Awan population. The most important sections of the expelled Niazais were the Isakhel, Mushwanis, and a portion of the Sarhangs. The first named took root in the south of their new country and shortly developed into agriculturists; the second settled farther to the north round about Kamar Mushani, and seem for a time to have led a pastoral life; while the majority of the Sarhangs, after drifting about for several generations, permanently established themselves cis-Indus, on the destruction of the Ghakar stronghold of Muazam Nagar by one of Ahmad Shah's lieutenants. That event occurred about 1748, and with it terminated the long connection of the Ghakars with Mianwali. They seem to have been dominant in the northern parts of the country even before the emperor Akbar presented it in jagir to two of their chiefs. During the civil commotions of Jehangir's reign, the Niazais are said to have driven the Ghakars across the Salt Range, and though in the following reign the latter recovered their position, still their hold on the country was precarious, and came to an end about the middle of the last century as stated above. The remains of Muazam Nagar, their local capital, were visible on the left high bank of the Indus about six miles south of new Mianwali until a few years back, when the site was eroded by the river. The Niazais thus established themselves in Isakhel about 270 years ago, but their Sarhang branch did not finally obtain its present possessions in Mianwali until nearly 150 years later. The acquisition of their cis-Indus possessions was necessarily gradual, the country having a settled though weak government, and being inhabited by Awans and Jats.

Re: Is Imran Khan pathan?
Thread Starter:
A. How does that matter and why would you need sources that say he is a pathan?
B. "doesnt act like them"?? Do they walk on all 4's? And "pathani accent" is not even a word, or an accent for that matter.
C. Okay some info - he IS a pathan, and when you say pathan it doesnt automatically mean a pushtoon. All pathans are not pushtoons. He is a Niazi - niazis speak Saraiki (a variation of punjabi).
D. Lets just stick to him being a Pakistani. And be proud of him because he is super cool.
PS: If dividing and discriminating is your 'thing', please dont breed.
