Nausherwani

Nausherwani (Urdu: نوشیروانی) is a Baloch tribe in Balochistan, Pakistan. Like many other tribes in Pakistan, the Nausherwanis also have a Persian origin, claiming a descent from legendary Persian King Nausherwan-e-Adil (Nausherwan, The Just). Most Nausherwanis were Zoroastrians before conversion to Islam. Within Baluchistan, Nausherwanis are divided into two sub tribes:first the Nawabs of Kharan, and second the sardars of Kholwa in Awaran district.

Young Nausherwani Itehad( United Community of Young Nausherwanis) is leading community of young Nausherwanis which promotes Social Welfare and Education in Kharan Region and other areas of Balochistan and Iran.
