It's Baazar (Market) is one of the famous of all the other neighbouring villages. People from neighbouring villages come to the market to meet friends & family. The people from neighbouring village Saleh Khana sometimes refer to the village as ''Shangre'', refer to its inhabitants as a whole regardless of Clans as ''Kotli Kalan '' and it's Bazar as ''Kotli Kalan Main Bazar''. ==History== Elders of the village say that the Tatar Khel Clan have descended from the Tataries tribe of Genghis Khan, while the Shattar Khel Clan are thought to be descendants from the Greeks of Alexander the Great & the Amir Jan Khel Clan are linked to Alexander the Great himself; the Tatar Khel also have a link to Alexander the Great. Although the Pashtuns of this village are known as Khattaks there is legend that the Khattaks are in fact Zakha Khel, Afridis who migrated from the Khyber/Tirah regions and this legend is added credence by the fact that land revenue records still describe the lands being held by Afridis. It was involved in a major fight in 1984 over water dispute with neighbouring and larger village, Saleh Khana resulting in one person dead and many injured. Due to that fight there is a major ongoing rivalry between the two villages. 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「Kotli Kalan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
