Arain is a Pakistani and Indian caste, agriculture related. In Pakistan the population of Arains exceed 10 million. Arain originally were one of the semitic races that came to the Indian subcontinent from east. However, majority of Arain today might not be descendants of those Arain but in fact people with same profession (i.e. farming).
There are large numbers of Arain living in Lahore, Multan and Faisalabad. General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq former president of Pakistan was also Arain.
It is believed the Arain word is derived from the Arabic name Ar-Ra'i, "The shepherd", a title indigenous to Arabia.
