#TIL that there is a #Pashtun subtribe called the #Toran.

Does anyone know of a good resource of information on this tribal group? #Wikipedia doesn't have a lot of information!

I like to look into anything that shares my first name, as it's not a common one (at least not in the Western world)! 🙂

I do wish people would stop using the term 'Christian name', especially #Boomers (two of whom asked me this yesterday), when asking for someone's 'first name'.

While I am a [very liberal] #Christian, my name is actually Hindic in origin, as it refers to a type of decorative #art, in #Hinduism, used to decorate doors during celebrations.
