The Mirani tribe has historically been inspired by Amir Hamza and some tribes even own manuscripts of the Hamzanama. The tribe is known to have maintained order along the Indus River particularly in Sindh, and are known to have helped and escorted the Mughal Emperor Humayun upriver in the year 1543. They speak Sindhi, Balochi and Persian and are found mainly in Pakistan and Iran.
Famous quotes containing the word tribe:
“In some ways being a parent is like being an anthropologist who is studying a primitive and isolated tribe by living with them.... To understand the beauty of child development, we must shed some of our socialization as adults and learn how to communicate with children on their own terms, just as an anthropologist must learn how to communicate with that primitive tribe.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
