Ghourghushti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghourghushti refers to the Pashtun sub-tribes that are descended from Ghorghusht, one of Qais Abdur Rashid's sons. According to Pashtun oral history, Ghourghusht had only one son who was named Dani.
Below are some of the sub-tribes present today that claim descent from Ghorghusht:
Many of the people belonging to these sub-tribes reside in the Attock District of Pakistan, and speak Hindko as opposed to Pashto as their mother tongue.
Unofficially the region encompassing Attock is called Chach and the Pashtuns living there are usually called Chach Pashtuns. Chach Pashtuns are revered for their vicious fighting ability in ancient times and more recently for their many advancements in education, culture, and society.
