What about longani or lungani from jalalabad..
These are Punjabi khatri surnames. How and when did punjabi khatris reach Afghanistan?
Most punjabi khatri (as they are called in this time) settled in Afghan border areas and until mainland of kabul in the time bappa rawal, when he invaded afghanistan. Today’s punjabi khatris are that time warrior classes ( Kshatriya) who were given the responsibility of protecting the chowkis made by bappa rawal in that period.
