Awans are directly descended from the cousin of the Prophet(pbuh) and the fourth rashidun Caliph of Islam, Ali(RA) from the Hashmi clan of Arabia. Our ancestor arrived as a general with the invading armies of Ghanznavi from Afghanistan and was awarded the title Awan for his bravery, we settled in this region after that. There i just educated u. The two clans the British prefferd the most to recruit in thier army from India were the Awans and the Pashtuns which they recognized for their martial instinct. Awans were rulers of the princely state of Bahawulpur before partition.Dude, My history isn't very good. Can you tell me in last 2000 years when was the last time an Awan from Punjab ruled over any part of any region in today's Pakistan let alone India?
