Who they are
The Kheshgi form a traditional lineage of the Pashtun people in Pakistan, preserving ancestral customs and the Central Pashto dialect. Renowned for their strict code of honor and family loyalty, they organize their communities around communal life and hospitality. As part of the vast Pashtun nation, their ethnic identity remains deeply intertwined with the Muslim faith and tribal traditions.
