Words "Pushtaini" and "Gair Pushtaini" - Indian Laws - General

Meaning of words Pushtaini and Gair Pushtaini - The word 'Pushtaini' is a Persian word and finds its origin from the word 'Pusht', which means 'back'. The said word has been historically used in the context of ancestry. Any possession, tale or legend, that has roots to a particular ancestry, to denote it's significance to the said ancestry, the word 'Pushtaini' is used. As is obvious, since the word 'Gair' which finds its origin in Urdu language means 'other than', thus, 'Gair-Pushtaini' would mean one which is not 'Pushtaini'.
