It gives many conflicting views and you quoted one of them, and references it quotes are either too old or not credible at all.I don't know how much this is fact based but you can find detailed info here...

Of our clan to be specific. Roughly 700-800 years...3-4 migrations across 3-4 states. My village specifically was not part of 4th migration. We never changed surnames/gotras. Jats at least on Indian side don't. I can point with good accuracy from where and when those migrations took place. Plus we have some stories of why also.You mean your family kept record of your migrations for 700-800 years?
True, I have seen many such claims and from my understanding jats are migrations from different regions including northern India. Jats do have slightly higher ne euro genes...It gives many conflicting views and you quoted one of them, and references it quotes are either too old or not credible at all.
You are right to some degree.Don't troll. I am a Jat. Jats though not having any exceptional documented history but still have passed information across generations verbally. Also historians have made some claims. Jats were most likely migrants. They adopted regional culture. They were never oppressed but not really ruled either.
yes sirDogar is landholding punjabi braderi, British used to put them in jatt or rajput category. Some of them migrated from east punjab. Majority of them are muslims but some are also sikhs
With all due respect, nearly every Pakistani Muslim tribe seems to have invented a story of being descended from Arab soldiers. Now I do not dispute that some may indeed be, but every single one of them..? Seeing the genetic results for the Pakistanis that have done DNA tests, I haven't come across a single one who we can say for certain has much "arab" ancestry.
It's sad because of this childish attempt to link themselves with others have made them forget their own glorious past.
P.S. Don't consider this an attack on the Arrain, most of the ones who claim Arab descent are in the same bracket, including the Awans from whom I come from.
Ah man, my mum's a yousafzai dad's a Boraki khattak. I know about almost everything about my tribe Khattak, but close to zero about Yousafzais. All I know is that Khattaks and Yousafzais have shared a bitter history, and still got some sort of tension. Yousafzais and their allies are bit uptight with Khattaks and their allies (Afridi).
Khattaks are theorised to be descendants of Bani Israel, while Yousafzais are said to be descendants of Alexandar The Great. This makes sort of sense to me. Pure Khattaks have egyptian features (hairy, thick brows etc with brown to fair complextion) while Yousafzais (pure ones) tend to have fair complextions with Greek like features.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, specially on Yousafzais. I'm not well versed on my mum's side.
So you are only half memon?

I have noticed that there is a very much interest of many members to discuss about Punjabi muslims so why not lets list and discuss Muslim Punjabi Tribes and their origins.
Arrains: Almost all of them are sunnis and they claim their descent from Syrian soldiers who migrated with Mohd. Bin Qassim from a town in Syria called Areeha ( in english "Jericho" ). Areeha was considered military district of Shaam region. It can be an exaggeration to their claim but one has to look into the research done about them. i read at wikipedia that there some people who think Arain are sub caste of rajputs but I think it is nonsense & some says that arains are persian origin race and Kambojahs are there closest cousins in this regard but again i dont know any kaamboj so i dont know their habits.
1. B blood group is common among them.
2. Most of them are sunnis muslims
3. Most of them live in Punjab and many of them are also living in Sindh
4. Mian, Chaudhry, Bhutta & Meher are common titles found among them
5. They dont have any sub tribes and castes.
6. They are small Landowners. Mostly grow vegetables ( in jokes people always talk about arrains and onions ) The place i mentioned in the introduction from where they originated it is called Areha in arabic and in English its called Jericho. I found out that the people there r into farming so may b there is a clue but then i can be wrong because many people in India are also into agri business too.
7. they are also famous to be in angry mood. ( an old sikh lady told me that Arain badday daadaay honday ne & when i told her that i am an Arrain she was like speechless and said pehle kyun nai dasyea ) i was laughing too.
8. They try not to marry into other tribes or castes but this is a trend of every tribe in Punjab or may i gues everywhere especially in muslim world. ( once a Syed Gillani girl told me that they tend to marry in Pathans and Rajputs and they see others including arrain as a low tribe)
This is what i have found so far please enlighten me with your knowledge of all other Tribes. It will be better if you tell some traits of the tribes as well thank you
Yusufzai pathan hain or kon hain, mostly settle in Mardan, Swabi, Swat and Malakand regions.Yar ye sab choro....koi muje Yousufzai Pashtun k barey me batado...Ye kon hain...In ka kia rasmo riwaj hai..

No matter how deep you dig, you will find two origin theories. One Children of Israel and second Greeks.
Most old people link Pushtun tribes to lost tribe of Israel, and this concept is very strong among tribes living in FATA.
My friend their are no Jats in Afghanistan, only a small community in KPK.@AshishDelhi
There are plenty of Jatts on both sides of the Durand line.
My question to you is, are there many Gujjars in east Punjab? And how are they comparable to Jatts?
