A Strange Marriage Custom of Hindkowans

[Fledgingwings]

Old values.

 

[Salar Shah]

I doubt you people drive brides to the grooms house.

And Jadoons are Pashtuns.. not former Hindus etc.

Well many South Indian Muslims must have been former Hindus but I think majority of present South Indian Muslims are of Arab/Yemeni origin being descendents of Arab/Yemeni traders.

Then you don't know a iota about hindkowans. jadoons consider themself a pathan tribe yet they are a part of hindko speaking and fluently speak hindko same goes for the Tanoli tribe they also have linkage with pashtun yet they mostly now speak hindko. As far as pahaari are concerned they speak pure hindko or a more hard dialect just like we Pakistani's don't speak the pure urdu rather simple urdu.

Being of Pashtun descent and being pashtun are two different things and i kind of know a thing or two about Hindko i can easily understand the Haripur dialect and to a degree the Abbotabad city and SHerwan region dialect but some dialects are difficult to understand
You are mixing up two things here

Recently my uncle got married in a Hindko speaking Jadoon family of Abbotabad. What I found most strange was that these guys did not hand us over the bride until they didn't drove their girl all the way from Abbotabad to Nowshera where we were temporarily living and left in an instant after dropping the bride without drinking even a glass of water. We requested them a lot to at least drink a glass of water as they had drove so long non-stop in this heat but they refused and left in an instant.
Can someone from that region shed light on what type of a custom is this?I mean simply mind boggling.

Never heard of this. Not a custom of Hindko Speaker's in Abbotabad. Maybe a special case.

The hindko dialect spoken in Haripur is easy to understand just as the the Hindko dialect mostly spoken in Rawalpindi side and then in Islamabad. The Hindko dialect spoken in Abbottabad is a little bit harder and has more closeness to Sherwan people so, both regions have almost the same dialect. Manshera side has also somewhat easy dialect but that languaage has some closeness to the Pahaari people example like word achnay means coming is more commonly used in Pahaari and Manshera people Dialect, whereas in Abbottabad and haripur they say tusi anay ho.

I know that bro, it is not me who has raised this question that why people of Hazara leave their daughters to their husband's place.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Well many South Indian Muslims must have been former Hindus but I think majority of present South Indian Muslims are of Arab/Yemeni origin being descendents of Arab/Yemeni traders.

First of all, South Indian Muslims are converts and whatever Arab traders settled, their descendants would make a minority and would be assimilated into local culture.. and would make a tiny minority.

2nd) the person whom you are talking about is Hindu.

[Hamza913]

Hindu culture is still very prevalent among many in Pakistan, or at least that's what it seems like.

 

[Mian Babban]

.... I think majority of present South Indian Muslims are of Arab/Yemeni origin being descendents of Arab/Yemeni traders.

Thats not true

 

[Salar Shah]

Thats not true

Well a South Indian Muslim friend of my in university told me this. He said we South Indian Muslims are descendents of Arab n Yemeni traders.

 

[Safriz]

Yes . The tradition is still alive among certain Hindkowan clans but not all. As already explained, the tradition has more to do with not burdening the Brand new In laws.
Call them again after a while for Dinner and they will eat and drink at yours without problem.
The other Tradition is that the Groom runs away on the day of his wedding and has to be found and brought back by Cousins and Brothers.

 

[punit]
