The Kayanii ((ウルドゥー語:Hindko کیانی )) is a title used by ghakar tribe based in Rawalpindi, northern Pakistan.〔''Rawalpindi Gazetteer 1893-94'' 2001 Sang e Meel Publ., p115〕 ==Medieval Gakhars and Babur== In his ''Baburnama'', Babur noted that: Up to this time, around 1519, the Gakhars and Janjua Rajputs had engaged in an endless battle for sovereignty over the Salt Range. However, the alliance of Raja Sahib Khan (Janjua overlord) and Malik Bir Khan Gakhar, saw a period of peace between the two tribes (both being visionary princes, and with a legendary friendship of treating each other as half brothers).〔Tarikh-i-Janjua, M Anwar, 1988, p84〕 This was later abruptly ended upon the ascension of Hathi Khan Gakhar as the leader of the Gakhar tribe, who assassinated Malik Hast Janjua's father, thereby reawakening the old feud between the two clans. Concerning the Gakhar clan, Babur goes on to say. : ''"At that time (1519), the chieftains of the peoples on the mountainsides were two cousins, Tatar Khan and Hathi Khan(Hamad Khan) "Elephant" Gakhar. Their strongholds were the ravines and cliffs. Tatar's seat was Pharwala, which is way below the snow-covered mountains. Hathi, whose territory was adjacent to the mountains, had gained dominance over Kalinjar, which belonged to Babu Khan of Bisut. Tatar Khan had seen Dawlat Khan and owed him total allegiance; Hati, however, had not seen him and maintained a rebellious attitude towards him. With the advice and agreement of the Hindustan Begs, Tatar had gone and camped at a distance as though to lay siege to Hathi. While we were in Bhera, Hathi seized upon some pretext to make a surprise attack on Tatar, kill him, and lay hands on his territory, his wives, and everything he had."'' Babur also gives an account of his attack on Ruler of Pothohar Hathi Khan (Hamad Khan) Gakhar at the fortress of Pharwala. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kayani Mughal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
