That’s fascinating. On my mother’s side, my grandfather had 11 children from 4 different wives. On my father’s side, there were 8 children from 2 wives. It was a truly diverse and interesting family — one side was quite educated and modern, while the other followed a more traditional rural lifestyle.
My maternal grandfather was a big landlord, and both of my grandfathers (from mother and father’s side) were actually cousins. My paternal grandfather was a tank mechanic, and two of my cousins served in the tank regiment as well . One of my uncles worked in the GHQ’s accounts department, and another served in the PAF and My one uncle was martyred in the 1971 war. He was serving in the Navy.
And his son recently retired as a Colonel.
Most funny thing is that fourth generation of my family not allowed to comment in army section. This is the level of change we are facing.. because I am very critic of army recent activities
