This all goes to show that those claiming to be KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSONS on this site so appropriately named GS and coincidentally rhyming with BS :D, are in dire need of a little literacy themselves
So having said that I simply want to enhance your understanding of a Punjabi/Hindko word
Tikha that translates in urdu⌠Tez, like Tezgam the train every one knows
or as in English Sharp
So the translation of Gen Tikha Khan, would be one with a Sharp Mind.
So Please quit buchering a perfectly good Panjabi/Hindko language word Cheers!
^ the question still remains, have you heard this name other than the guy under discussion? I believe the tikha that you are talking about is in Urdu too.
Now that correct spelling is revealed, fair to say it is a common enough word in Punjabi and Hindiko. It desnât sound like a proper name, but certainly appears like a title that must have been earned.
it may not be as common a name, however the word Tikha is used a lot, ofcourse in my area the word used more often is âTrikhaâ which means the same.
I think Pakistani Journalists who translated his name kinda misspelled it, General Sahib should have corrected that, seems he did not object to the misspelling! I wonder why?
