Even highly urbanised Arains do not like to marry "outsiders", resulting in Arains being the purest race in the subcontinent,Īrains claim Arab descent, based upon the fact that nearly all Arains are Sunni Muslims as was Muhammad Bin Qasim. This is more true because of the fact that even today Arains don't like to marry outside their clan. Most Arains are very fair, and many have coloured eyes, which means that they could not be of Indian ancestary. It is believed the word Arain is derived from the Arabic name Ar-Ra'i, "The shepherd", a title indigenous to Arabia. He refered to them as Areehai from Arreha (Jericho) which was Punjabized with a nasal sound to Arain. Akbar Shah Khan Najeebabadi, an Indian historian of Islam, wrote that they entered India thru Debal, Sindh with Muhammad Bin Qasim in 92 Hijri (711CE). The Arain (Urdu: آرائین) are descendants of Arab invaders to the Indian subcontinent.
