As far as I know they did a linage trace on awans and they turned out to have a linkage with Pashtuns/Afghans.
A lot of Sayeds/Bukharis/Arabs came through Afghanistan to spread Islam. When they came to Afghanistan and the area of Bulkh, they adapted and intermarried, then they moved on to the northern areas of Pakistan, from there to India, and from there further down.
Most of them were not fighters or anything; they were just traders by profession though their objective was to spread Islam. Yet a lot of them who settled in the northern areas did lead major fights against Maharatas, Rajputs, Sikhs and the British.
Yeah i am also Qutb shai awan. Whatever that means. I don't know much, but the background is landlords or zameendars.
Wow so we are distant relatives. As far as I know Qutub Shah was some religious figure that was in Iraq for a little bit and then came to Pakistan. My ancestors were settled close to Terbela and then one of the brothers decided that the air is not that good there so he started walking and ended up close to Mansehra-Abbottabad about 300 years ago. Since then we are there.

There's theories that the original Hindu Rajputs were the same stock as Afghans/Pashtuns too but these are just baseless theories, I know plenty of Awans and none talk of affiliation with Afghans, not everyone who came through the Khyber pass was ethnically Pashtun/Pukhtoon (ethnic Afghan).
