Zhmaryani

Not to be confused with Zimri (nation).

'Zimri or Mizri, is a Pashtun tribe in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.^[1] Some Zimri lineages live in Afghanistan. They are Pashtuns.

The name Zimri or Zimaray means "fierce tiger" in the Pashto language. The history shows that one day at the place located in Musakhail city between the Sherani and Isot, the father of Zimri had a fight with tigers in the mountains. After being victorious, the father of Musakhail gave him the honer Zimrai (Azmaray, lion), which means "lion" in Pashto. Zamri, Mizri, the same nation^[1] named changed due to the languages of different areas.

Rough estimates shows their population to be more than 90,000-100,000.

Location

They live in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and Balochistan Province of Pakistan. Some of them live in sibi and they call themselves Mizri and a very small portion of the population is living in Lower Punjab. These migrations have occurred primarily due to tribal conflicts and financial instability in the region. They are living in the mountainous range associated with Hazrat Suleman. They live between Sherani and Isot tribes. The mountains on which they live are very fertile. These valleys are thought to be one of the most beautiful places in Balochistan Province. The Zamarai or Zimri country is drained by small hills torrents: the Ramak and Guzai.

Zimri is respectable and educated nation in Afghanistan as well as in Pakistan. Due to some clashes, Zimri migrated from Musakhail to other cities of Pakistan like Loralai, and other countries of the world. Some of the Zimri migrated from Musakhail to the Luni area in the way of Khulo.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan they are living in the famous village of Pirpiai in Nowshera. The founding father of Pirpiai was the son of Daulat Khan. Daulat Khan was a commander and confidant of Nadir Shah Afshar, the ruler of Iran. Nadir Shah awarded the area to Daulat Khan, his confidant. Daulat Khan belonged to the Gumoriani tribe.
