historical evidence for pakhtun origin of tanawalis now also know as tanolis i have given many sources for the pakhtun origin theory also i have written a critical analysis of the various issues concerning the language culture history and relationships with fellow pakhtun tribes of tanawalis e g jaduns dilazaks swatis etc who all live adjacent to the tanoli areas and have intermarried and share valleys lands and language tanoli pakhli and mansehra as well as abbottabad's orush valley are all territories that are similar in many ways and are central to the hazara identity and culture the references given by the janjua theorist are definately fradaulent as this writer has consulted the original material and not found any references to janjuas or raja tanoli anywhere the books by the twn janjua writers who do not belong to the great tanawali race but are northern punjabis whose sources are dubious to say the least and who are trying to concoct a 'history' that has no historical foundation furthermore the history of a people is determinded by it's own oral and written accounts the ruling family of tanawal do not list raja tanoli in their geneological table nor does he figure in their family accounts are they wrong deluded or should we accept their version of their own history which is consistent with those written by non tanawalis abbasid accounts for a very small minority of tanolis is more plausible than a janjua 'history' october pakhtun tanoli
