Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper focuses on kinship, family structures and social organization of Village Zandra, District Ziarat in the province of Balochistan. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the social organization of Pashtoons (Pashto speaking people), how it is organized and how it grows. Different social activities and important aspects of social organization which include group formation, gift exchange, property matters, conflicts, and customary ways of dealing with important events of life have also been taken into the account. The village Zandra is a segmentary society divided into different lineages. Historical background of these lineages, their social stratification and interaction between the lineages has been discussed. During the last 3 decades technology has brought some significant changes in their kinship systems and family structures. The impact of these changes has been analyzed in light of world system theory at micro level. The data presented in this paper has been collected by using qualitative anthropological research techniques.
