I stumbled across this site while trying to create a blog for family events.My family comes from the Chakwal,(Dhanni)area of Punjab ,Pakistan.Family lore has it that the first Kahut sailed as a commander in the army of Mohammad bin Qasim .I dont know for sure but Kahut is a sub tribe of the Quraish of Mecca, the tribe of the Holy Prophet p.b.u.h.
Interesting to know that there are Germanic and even irish Kahuts!

Here is some thing more about Kahuts.
Quresh tribe of Saudi Arabia which came to India with the Muslim invaders. Kahut Quresh are mostly inhabited in Chakwal district, their centre point being the villages of Thatti and Janga. It is believed that when Quresh landed this area they had to fight a war with the locals of the area to make place for them. This war took place at the location of Janga; derived from Jan Gah meanig place of War.
Kahut Qursh are one of the majority caste of Chakwal. Kahuts are mostly inhabited in Chakwal District but also settled in other places of the Punjab like Lala Musa.
In the 1930's, the elders of he Kahut decided to educate themselves and then took responsibility for educating both memebers of the Kahut and others. Prominent leaders of this movement were Chaudhry Ghulam Haider of Kariyala and Chaudhry Mohammed Zaman Khan of Chakora.
Ghazi Mureed Husain of Bhala was a Kahut Quresh murdered a Hindu who had insulted Prophet Muhammed (PBH). His Mazar is located in the vicinity of Bhalla and Kahuts are proud of him.
