Abstract

This article examines the content and the documentary value of an essay on the genealogy and family history of Haybat Khān Kākaṙ, a member of the Indo-Afghan migrant community, whose contribution to the first book on Pashtun ethnohistory, the Tārīkh-i khānjahānī wa makhzan-i afghānī (1613), remains underestimated. Written in Persian by Haybat Khān himself, this essay has survived as an appendix in several manuscripts of the Tārīkh-i khānjahānī, including its early dated copy of 1629. While further confirming Haybat Khān’s co-authorship of the book, the essay provides reliable first-hand data on the dynamics of the formation of the Pashtun nobility in the Delhi Sultanate from the mid-fifteenth century and testifies to the veracity of Pashtun genealogical traditions beginning form the early thirteenth century. Through intertextual links with the Tārīkh-i khānjahānī, it also sheds light on the social and business activities of women, citing an illustrative case of the transformation of historical facts into hagiography.
