The Story of the Kethwal Family

Introduction:

My name is Ikram Baig, son of Khan Baig, and my tribe is Kethwal. Our family hails from the village of Charhan in New Murree.

Note:

The term “Baig” used with some family members is merely a pseudonym, influenced by our grandfather’s close association with General Aslam Baig. Grandfather used “Baig” as a pseudonym with his father’s name Khan.
