Kayani Ghakar


The Kayani, also spelled Kiyani or Kiani is a title used by the Gakhars, a tribe based in the Jhelum and Rawalpindi regions of Punjab, Pakistan.Gakhar Kayani were Sassanian Persian nobles who,with their knights,went beyond the northeast frontier of the Sassanian empire,seeking lands in China,Tibet and Kashmir.Gakhars therefore use the ancient royal Persian title "Kay" or "Kayani" as did the Sassanians aristocracy as they claim descent from the semi mythological Kayanian Kings of the ancient persia.
