 Bhurban's main tribes are Dhunds (now called Abbasis) Janyals, all being indigenous descendants of Muslim hill tribes who have lived here for centuries.Many of these tribes converted to Islam during the 14th to 15th centuries AD.Most of them still live simple rural lives, whilst a number of them have gone on to seek education and jobs in the plains, in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and even further afield.
