Hindu Gramani Matrimony

Hindu Gramani Marriage Site

This custom is still prevailing in the north-west hindu garamani matrimony. Isazai, Yusufzai both living on the banks of the Indus, are names of this type. We are told in Mahabharata that the warlike Gr?ma??yas, i.e. clans named after their hindu garamani matrimonial, lived on the banks of Indus and they fought against Nakula in his western campaign. (Sindhu-kulasrita ye cha gramanya mahabala, Sabhaparva, 32.9). We may thus locate the Puga type of Sanghas organized under Garamani bride and groom leaders in the tribal area to the west of the Indus. Panini names some of these war like tribes of the north-west frontier, e.g. A?ani (V.3.117), Shinw?ris with their parent stock of the K?rshbuns, to be identified with K?rsh?pa?as in the same Gana, the ?pr?tas or Apar?tas (IV.2.53) , same as Greek Aparytai, modern Afridis. The Pathans are an ancient people, settled in their original homeland, the country of Pakthas or Pakteys (country Paktyike) mentioned as being in the north-west India by Herodotus, from which Pakhtun is derived. Several ancient Sanskrit names in Ganas correspond to name of these clans, e.g. Pavindas (IV.1.110) corresponding to modern Powindas settled in Gomal valley, armed tribesmen formerly occupying the Wana plain, and Vanavyas (IV.1.99, people of the Van?yu country), corresponding to the people of wide open Wana Valley in the north of Gomal River.
