Importance of Dastaar and a few supportive customs in Brahui Society

Abstract

Main objective of this article is to highlight the merits of the some Brauhi Customs and their impact on the society. Apart from that we also try to thresh out the importance of the customs for the soeciety and how they keep intact with Rules & Regulations in shape of tradition without any written documentation or legislation. It reveals from the history that all such customs were implemented verbally by the stake holders strictly. In short we have also discussed some of the Brauhi Customs that, how much importance and impact they have upon culture. For example most of the people use to wear turbans, assuming that they wear this treditionally or for some other purpose?. Similarly, it was mandatory to serve tea and Hubble Bubble (Tobacco "Chan-o-Chulum) when guest used to come and guest was mainly responsible to elaborate about his arrival journey and about the climate, which is traditionally called "Hall o Hawall" No doubt that Hall-o-awall was the main source of communication and core information at that time which were totally based on truthness, trust and reality. Furthermore, an other custom which is based on humanitarian ground which called "Bejjar " in which a person will traditionally demand some halp in shpae of exchequere, animals or any other sources from their relatives and friends to make necessary arrengments for his or his son or brother's marriage. In this way some body will be able to meet the expenses of marriage with the help of thier friends. In addition, due to multi diamentional merits/benefits, the customs were treated as manifesto of Brauhi Culture so Brauhi public strictly followed such norm with letter & sprit. If we briefly review the Brauhi Culture and people, they may seem very innocent & sincere and mostly lived in rural and undeveloped areas. Their living style was very simple but their vision and commitment towards traditional norms were solid & strong. Especially respect of women, guests, brotherhood and for those who knocked at their door in time of need and shelter. Traditionally Brauhi Culturist were always ready to sacrifice their lives for the protection of those who did ask them for. Due to such solid & committed customs, image of Brauhi's were highly apprecialbe and such code of life made them respectable & honourable in the society. All in all, the main motive was to expose these customs to bring awarness to the general public and open a clue for researchers who are interested to research on the merits of Brauhi Culture and there way of life.
