For Kiyani Sab COAS , Pasha Sahib & CJ of Pakistan

Kia Khoob Meray Shehar Ma Insaf Howa Hay,
Ek Khoon Baha Bhi Hay to Phr Maaf Howa Hay,
Ay Koom Teri Qismat May Izzat Hay Na Gherat ,
Ye Raz Bari Daar Say Ab Faash Hua Hay.

Gen. Kayani

He condemned the loss of innocent lives but doesn't condemn the drone strikes themselves.

an off topic question. we have got a valley in Baghlan province called Kiyan, it is after a family who were the rulers in our history, is there any relation between the 2 kiyans?

 

[Xeric]

He's from Baloch Regiment, but then one doesnt needs to be a Baloch to become a Balochi (i.e. become part of a Bloch Regiment).

He's not an ethnic Baloch.

 

[Rana4pak]

Kayanis did migrate from that part of the world after they developed differences with the persians.

And they are not rajputs as they are/were never hindus, like 90% of the tribes of Pothar.

ours is merely a system with names of regiment often taking into account location or area name.....they NOT broken down into race the way they are in certain nearby countries where bulk of ppl within reg. are within named ethnic groups (e.g. sikh regiment or gurkha, etc)

for the record, DGISI was Commandant of Command and Staff College in Quetta -- he's ethnic Pakhtun. Not Baloch.

small quick history lesson.....

in past times it was known Balochistan Light Infantry. For sometimes, only the ethnic Baloch were taken into the battalions. Later 8th Punjab Bahawalpur and Baloch Regiments were merged and re-organize to become present days Baloch Regiment

Pakistan military spells out ‘concerns’ to US commander


ISLAMABAD: Pakistan spelt out “concerns” dogging its troubled alliance with the United States at talks Thursday with the most senior American to visit since the release of CIA operative Raymond Davis who murdered two Pakistanis. US commander of the Middle East and Afghanistan, General James Mattis, flew in as relations took a further knock from a White House report criticising Pakistan’s fight against Taliban and al Qaeda on the Afghan border. Mattis was meeting Pakistan’s army chief General Ashfaq Kayani and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff committee, General Khalid Shamim Wynne, Lt Col Michael Shavers at the US embassy told AFP. During the meetings, Mattis would “hear from them their concerns with regard to the relationship with the US military here”, Shavers said. “It’s not extraordinary... it’s a military to military relationship,” said an official of the US embassy in Islamabad. The Pakistan military confirmed that the Mattis talks dealt with Afghanistan and “military cooperation,” but commanders did not give detailed comment. afp

Err,,,,Both Indian and Pakistani 'regiments' are inherited from the erstwhile British Indian Army. And even in Gurkha regiments, for an example, not all are Gurkhas just like in Baloch regiment not all are Baloch.

Gurkha regiments comprise of North Easterners, Nepalis, ethinic Gurkhas, Kumaonis,Garwhalis etc.

I beg to disagree on that
I have Rajput family members and they call themselves Kayani too. I have never challenged them.
