My name is "MIRZA MUHAMMAD ABDUL KAREEM BAIG KHAN", and I am a descendant of Taimur Baig Khan. My greatest ancestors are Taimur Khan (Timur or Tamerlane). People who claim to be Punjabi are not actually Mughal, because true Mughals identify themselves as Urdu-speaking migrants (or Mahajir). It's a statement of distinction and clarification, emphasizing the difference between two identities

*( ACTUAL MUGHAL/ CONVERTED PUNJABI  MUGHAL )* 

Our father and ancestors used to speak Urdu, and at the end, many people became Mughal (or claimed to be) for the sake of honor and prestige, but we are actually "MIGRATED URDU SPEAKING/ MIRZA BAIG KHAN MUGHAL" Let me talk about title of "KHAN" First Khan in this world is "CHANGAIZ KHAN"also known as "GENGHIS KHAN" IN THIS CURRENT TIME MOST OF THE PEOPLE USE THIS TITLE LIKE PASHTON, PAKHTON AFGHANS AND MANY MORE. They use this title for getting honours and respect from other people but they are not actually Khan Let me explain...

1. Pashtuns/Afghans didn't traditionally use the "Khan" title before the time of Taimur Baig Khan (also known as Timur or Tamerlane). 2. After Taimur's conquest of their region, they were impressed by his bravery, military prowess, and leadership (Shujaat, Daleeri, and Bahaduri). As a result, they started adopting the "Khan" title as a suffix to their names, in admiration and emulation of Taimur's legacy. 3. Before the Taimur Empire, Pashtuns/Afghans did not use the "Khan" title with their names. 4. The actual "Khan" title refers to Genghis Khan (Changaiz Khan), who is the ancestor of the Taimurid dynasty (Al-e-Changaiz, and Al-e-Taimuri). They're actually Khan

The Mughals (also spelled Moghul or Mogul) are a number of culturally related peoples in modern-day North India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, who claimed they are descended from the various Central Asian Mongolic and Turkic tribes and Persians that settled in Mughal India. The term Mughal (or Moghul in Persian) literally means Mongol.

History and origin

In North India, the term Mughal refers to one of the four social groups that are referred to as the Ashraaf in Pakistan, the Gheba and Kassar in Punjab claim from the Barlas, a Mongol tribe that had later been Turkicised. Sir Denzil Ibbetson, the eminent British student of Punjabi tribal structures, noted a tendency among many tribes of the Pothohar and Upper Hazara regions of Northern Pakistan to claim Barlas Mughal ancestry.

In North India

In North India, the term Mughal refers Gürkani or Timurids. They are also sometimes referred to as Chughtais or Chagatai Türks named after Chagatai Turkic language spoken by the Barlas and other Central Asian tribes. But one of the social groups that are claim to as the Ashraaf.

In Uttar Pradesh

The Sambhal, who claim Turkic descent, identify as a Biradari, literally translating to "brotherhood", which is the word used for a social unit based on kinship such as tribe or clan. The chief of the Biradari is the "Sardar", who is usually an elder man annually elected as the greatest man in the Biradari. Decisions on important matters are taken only after consulting the Biradari, and once taken binding on every member.

Present circumstances

North India

The community had traditionally served as soldiers in the armies of the various Indo-Muslim dynasties which ruled the Indian subcontinent. They were and still are a community of small to medium-sized farmers. A good many are also traders. Like other Gujarati Muslims, they have a caste association known as the Jamat, which acts both as a welfare organization and an instrument of social control.
