Asslam-O-Alaikum

Can anyone tell me that do Chughtais belong to Mughals or Pathans ?

What is the origin of Chughtais?

What are the Physical appearances of Chughtais?

Actually I have a Seraiki Speaking Chughtai friend from Multan and some people of his family say that “Chughtais are Pathans”, some say that “Chughtais are only Khans”, some say that “Chughtais are Mughals” and some say that “Chughtais are Mughal-Pathans or Pathan-Mughals”. Please tell me who are Chughtais, Really??

In my friend’s family, people mostly use ‘Chughtai’ as a surname and some use ‘Khan Chughtai’ as a surname. But no one use Mirza or Baig as a surname.

wsalam and welcome to the forum.

I think Chugtais are Mughals and they have been claiming this with proud. Famous Urdu writer Ismat Chugtai always called her and her siblings Mughal bache.
