Clean-up in need
I'm absolutely appalled at the state this article is in. It's messy and unnecessarily long and I did my best on fixing some parts of it. Hope this page does get fixed up completely sometime. --BrydoF1989 (talk) 09:37, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Sigh...
Another one of the pages that should be improved for year, is send to AfD because in the present state it is useless and then people vote against deletion as it can be improved. Unfortunately, those people who say it van be improved, disappear in thin air and absolutely nothing happens. So we are stuck with another rotten article due to voting-but-not-acting-keep-as-it-can-be-improved voters. *sigh* The Banner talk 19:58, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

History of brohi/brahvi tribe
Brohi/brahvi tribe is a part of kurd family originally brahvis are kurds it means they are Turkish but when they migrated from syria to balochistan because of the heavy tax that they had to give to the rulers of syria they shifted to balochistan and with time they started expanding today in pakistan their population is 2,640,000 (2017 census) in Afghanistan their population is 200,000 (1980 census) their population in iran is 23,200 (2019) and in Turkmenistan they are 1,200 (2019) after their immigration in balochistan people started to call brahvis the balochis but originally they are brohis not balochis although they have so many casts but the 3 main casts or you can say the ruler casts are Shahwani,mengal and zehri we don’t have the exact dates and years but we gave you the history from different books and novels it might be possible that they are really balochis but we can’t say it with surety 37.111.130.191 (talk) 00:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
