Hans
The Hans is one of the tribes which I regret having included among the Shekhs. The numbers according to our returns are given in the margin ; but it is very probable that many of the Hans have returned themselves as Shekh or Qureshi and not as Hans, since they claim Qureshi origin. They say they emigrated from' Arabia to Afghanistan and thence to the Panjab, where they settled at Pakka Sidhar in the Montgomery district. _ In the time of Alamgir the Hans tribe, under their chief Shekh Qutb, attained independent rule over a portion of that dis trict and retained their independence till the time of the Sikhs, when about the middle of the 18th century the streams which fertilized their country dried up and they lost their home. At present they do not own a single entire village, and have preserved none of their former influence.
