Re: What does Lala mean in Pashto?
oh…is that so? hmmm 
hamaare gaaoN meN sirf ek Baniyaa family thii aur uslaa last name Jaiswal thaa…ham sab log uske ghar ke har mard ko 'Laala" kahte the to mujhe lagaa k Laala Baniyaa ko kahte haiN…
…vaise, Munshi is a profession…right? [Munshi Prem Chand, the famous Urdu short story/afsaane writer]…
and also, the legendary Kanhaiya Lal, the Bollywood actor, was from Jaunpur, UP and he always played the role of either ‘Munshi’ or that of a Baniya…in most movies he was called Laala…yaad hai?
