PIPLAN IS SURROUNDED BY MANY OTHER SIMILAR TOWNS: IN THE SOUTH THE TOWNS OF KUNDIAN AND MIANWALI, IN THE EAST, HARNAULI AND QAIDABAD, AND IN THE NORTH, KALOOR-KOT; IN THE WEST IS ALSO THE INDUS RIVER.
HISTORY OF PIPLAN
THE TOWN (TEHSIL) NAME PIPLAN ITSELF WAS GIVEN HISTORICALLY BEFORE THE INDIA-PAKISTAN PARTITION IN 1947. MANY HINDUS USED TO LIVE IN PIPLAN AND THE NAME OF THIS SMALL TOWN WAS PEEPUL OR PEEPUL WALA (PEEPUL: FIG TREE, REGARDED AS SACRED BY BOTH HINDUS AND BUDDHISTS, WHO CALL IT A “BO TREE”).
LATER, AFTER THE PARTITION OF 1947, THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO PEEPUL-AAN, NOW WRITTEN AS PIPLAN. MANY PEOPLE SAY THE TREE WAS LOCATED NEAR TO THE MAIN RAILWAY STATION OF PIPLAN, HOWEVER THE TREE HAS BEEN CUT DOWN. IN A RECENT RESEARCH BY TWO WELL KNOWN RESEARCHER OF PUNJAB UNIVERSITY, PIPLAN IS ALSO THE BIRTH PLACE OF FAMOUS HINDU RULER “CHANDAR GUPAT MORIA”.

LANGUAGES
THOUGH PIPLAN IS A TOWN OF MIANWALI DISTRICT, UNLIKE MIANWALI IT HAS NO CULTURAL INFLUENCE FROM THE PAKHTUN TRIBE. MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE SPEAK SIRAIKI. THOSE WHO SPEAK SIRAIKI ARE CALLED NATIVE PEOPLE LOCALLY. A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE TOWN AND THE SURROUNDING CHAKOOK SPEAK PUNJABI IN LAHORI OR FAISAL ABADI ASCENT AND CONSTITUTE A LARGE PORTION OF THE POPULATION. THEY BELONG TO THE ARAIN, GUJJAR AND JATT FAMILIES. MOST OF THEM HAVE FARMING AS THEIR PROFESSION. IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM ONLY URDU AND ENGLISH ARE SPOKEN AND WRITTEN, BUT IN OFFICES AND BUSINESSES SIRAIKI IS COMMONLY USED. THERE COULD ALSO BE FOUND NOMAD PUSHTUN TRIBESMEN SCATTERD AROUND THE CITY AND THE ADJOINING VILLAGES WHO SPEAK PUSHTU AS THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE AND SIRAIKI AS SECOND LANGUAGE. AFGHAN REFUGEES COULD ALSO BE FOUND AROUND JAL JANOOBI AND MUHALLAH MUSTAFA ABAD. CHUNKS OF MERWAT AND MOHMAND PUSHTUNS COULD ALSO BE FOUND WITH A FEW KHATTAKS WHO SPEAK PUSHTU AS FIRST AND SIRAIKI AND URDU AS THEIR SECOND LANGUAGE.

Dear Sir, Hello hope you are doing well.
I am indeed pretty impressed with the informations and details about the area, people and.
I am living very far from my homeland, b, you being an icon request you to help me in finding the roots of mmy
anestorswho said to be from Piplan. Let me explain a bit, though i dont have much info.
My family is settled in Bannu. We are told my grand father alongwith his causin m migrated to lakki marwat. reason being of their migration was his casion’s enmity with some there. My grand father was very genious person. He He hareceived basic education at secondary level, got to education as teacher., but he had another goal to achieve. He with limited resources but He got law degree from oriental college Lahore and as a result selected into jdiciary, and served as District Judge.
His name was Gul Mohammad khan and his father name was Fateh mohammad khan. Gul Mohammad khan alongwith his causin Noor Mohammad migrated Lakki Marwat during very early years in 1900.
Can you help ?
Dear Admin!
It is a great effort, i really appreciate you and your team for all this. But why u used racial discrimination in this research because you totally ignore the second largest caste “Rana/Rao/Rajput”.
