The Pathans of Punjab (Punjabi, Urdu: پنجابی پٹھان; Pashto: پنجابي پښتانه), also called Punjabi Pathans[3] or Pathans, are descendants of Pashtun settlers,[4][5] an Eastern Iranian ethnic group, in the Punjab region of Pakistan[6] and India.[2] They were originally from the Pashtunistan region of Afghanistan and Pakistan bordering the Punjab region. Most of these Pashtun communities are scattered throughout the Punjab and have over time assimilated and integrated into the Punjabi society and culture.
These non-frontier Pathans are usually known by the town or locality in which they are settled, e.g. Lahori Pathans.[6]
