The Pathans of Bihar in India are said to have settled in the region from the 13th century CE onwards. These Pashtun people are known as ''Pathan'' in the Hindustani language. Another common name for the community is Khan, which also a common surname. The name Pathan in Bihar refers to two distinct but related communities, the Nasli (from the Arabic word ''nasl'', meaning racial or by birth) and Divani (from the Arabic word ''diwan'', meaning a royal court). The former are descendents of various Pashtun settlers in Bihar, while the latter are Rajput and Bhumihar converts to Islam.〔''People of India Bihar'' Volume XVI Part Two edited by S Gopal and Hetukar Jha Seagull Books〕 ==See also== *Muslim Rajputs *Suri tribe *Rohilla 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「Pathans in Bihar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
