Sarwani

The term "Sarwani" most commonly refers to a Pashtun tribe residing primarily in the Loralai District of Balochistan, Pakistan, and parts of Afghanistan. The Sarwani are part of the larger Kakar Pashtun tribal confederation. They are primarily engaged in agriculture and livestock rearing. The Sarwani speak Pashto, specifically a dialect common to the region. Tribal structure and customs play a significant role in their social organization and dispute resolution. Historical accounts often associate the Sarwani with periods of regional conflict and alliances amongst Pashtun tribes.
