I have always wondered why my last name is Khan even though there is not a single person in my family that is Pashtun.
Every time I ask my mom, she says we are straight up 'Punjabi.' But that doesn't answer my question. I ask my dad and he says pretty much says the same thing.
So I did a little backtracking of my family history up to some time before the partition.
I came up with this:
My mothers side of the family is almost completely from Amritsar in British India and my fathers side is scattered from several parts of the British Indian side of Punjab and from Rajasthan.
Does this answer my question? I have no freekin idea.
Is there anything else I should get to know of that can answer my question?
