Gel Kheyl

Gel Kheyl is a Pashtun tribe primarily located in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are considered part of the Ghilzai confederation, a large and historically significant grouping of Pashtun tribes. Historical accounts and tribal genealogies suggest a complex history of migrations and alliances.

While definitive details on their specific origins and historical contributions remain fragmented, Gel Kheyl, like other Pashtun tribes, maintain a strong emphasis on Pashtunwali, the traditional Pashtun code of conduct. This includes values such as hospitality (melmastia), honour (nang), and revenge (badal).

Information regarding the Gel Kheyl's contemporary socio-economic status varies. Like many tribal communities in the region, they are likely engaged in agriculture, livestock rearing, and other rural occupations. Specific demographics, geographic distribution, and influence within broader political and social structures require further research and accurate data collection.
