Line 179:
I have removed all the names of so-called "prominent" Arain "personalities" whose names, as has been pointed out directly above, were capitalised. This is largely because the idiot who produced this laughable outpouring, in his desperate bid to continue claiming that Bhuttos are Arains, included Murtaza Bhutto's name in this comical list. I previously referred to this individual as a retard but given the number of times I have pointed out that on this page that Bhuttos are not Arains, the fact that this individual continues to claim otherwise just demonstrates what a tw*t he is.
I suppose I should at least be pleased that the main text of the article that I have put up (on numerous occasions because it has been tampered with by Arain fantasists) has been left intact (one of the few accounts of the Arains I managed to come across that was not a collection of fairytales). However, another claim of the Arain fantasists that needs to be blown out of the water is that they are some sort of warrior race - this is complete and utter nonsense. Furthermore, the Arains do not and have never, formed a significant proportion of the Pakistani army. Their numbers in the Pakistani military were swelled during the period Zia-ul-Haq was in power and only because he himself was an Arain. Emma Duncan's excellent book, ''Breaking the Curfew: A Political Journey Through Pakistan'', amply illustrates the favourable climate created in Pakistan for Arains during Zia's tenure in power, allowing his community to progress and prosper in various fields.
The fact is, the Pakistani army has always drawn the vast majority of its recruits from north-west Punjab and the North West Frontier Province, regions where groups such as certain Rajput tribes (e.g. the Janjuas), the Awans and numerous Pathan tribes reside and always have, and continue to, form the bulk of the Pakistani military (including its officer class). It was these same groups that the British categorised as 'martial races', a term they never applied to the Arains. Like the British, most non-Arain Punjabis chiefly associate the Arains with market gardening (and with good reason too), so much so, that Arains are often simply referred to as "Malis."
