Edit Request

I'd like to edit out 2 of the personalities under the 'Notable People' section who are from a different tribe (Muhammadzai), namely, Major General Akbar Khan and General Imran Ullah Khan.

I can provide sources to prove this. UnfazedRebel (talk) 04:11, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

@UnfazedRebel Go ahead. White Rivers (talk) 17:22, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

I would've if I could. I'm new to all of this and the page is protected by 'Extended confirmed protection'. UnfazedRebel (talk) 17:41, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

As in state on why you think these two Generals should be removed from the list, and the sources supporting your request. I'll do it on your behalf if I feel it is sufficient. White Rivers (talk) 19:01, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

I'll first fix the common misconception that these tribes are one. The Muhammadzai and Kheshgi are distinct, brother tribes that share a common ancestor- Zamand. The confusion also stems from the fact the main, principal villages the Kheshgi are located in are very close to the Muhammadzai geographically.

If you take a look at , it provides a table of descent where you can clearly see them listed separately from the common ancestor. Zamand has multiple sons, one of them giving rise to the Kheshgi, and another (Muhammad) giving rise to the Muhammadzai ('zai' meaning descendents). Note that one of Muhammad's sons is named Utman who founded the Utmanzai village/town in present day Charsadda, one of the many settlements the Muhammadzai are largely found in (stated by the source as well) and is also home to the 2 generals.

also provides the same details as [1].

provides you with another detailed tribal tree. The Kheshgi and Muhammadzai are listed as separate tribes here as well. It also lists down the exact subtribes which both Akbar Khan and Imran Ullah Khan belong to, the 'Pareech Khel' and the 'Shamozai' respectively. If you take a look at the subtribes listed under the 'Utmanzai' (descendents of Utman) branch of the Muhammadzai you'll find them. This makes sense as well considering the fact both Akbar Khan and Imran Ullah Khan were born in Utmanzai, Charsadda.

If we talk about Akbar Khan specifically, then there's multiple, recent sources like which explicitly state what tribe he's from.

And if we talk about Imran Ullah Khan, (which is the website of the school Imran Ullah Khan went to) explicitly states his tribe as well.

I've checked the sources and you're points are correct and well-spotted. I've removed them from the list. White Rivers (talk) 08:22, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
