Kharoti tribe in Afghanistan

H. W. Bellew writes that beyond the Kakar to the north-east, is the Kharoti tribe, one of the principal clans composing the Povindah association of caravan merchants. The Kharoti represent, the Kharaita mercantile Rajput ; they are reckoned at six thousand families, and inhabit Paltu and Dwa Gomal districts on the east slopes of the Suleman range, and are almost entirely nomadic or pastoral. The chief township in their country is called Urghim, or Warghun, which is inhabited by the Furmuli tribe. The Kharoti also inhabit the western slopes of the Suleman range from Paltu Pass to Katawaz district. The Kharoti who are not enrolled amongst the Povindah are mostly employed in agriculture and grazing ; they own large herds of camels and immense numbers of goats and sheep. The agricultural and pastoral Kharoti differ very remarkably in appearance and manners, and even in language, from the mercantile Kharoti, being more rough in their ways and unkempt in their persons ; but they are all a very fine and manly people, with light complexions compared with Indians.

The Kharoti claim affnity with the Ghilzi, and pretend to have been a branch of the Tokhi, from which they have long been separated. The Sahak Ghilzi, it is said, claim the Kharoti as their dependents or Hamsayah that is, as their vassals.
