Hindki (Pashto: هندکي‎) is the name given to an ethnic group who inhabit Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. They are found all over the country. H. W. Bellew in his Races of Afghanistan estimated their number at about 300000. The name Hindki is also loosely used by Pathans on the upper Indus in Dir and Bajour to denote the speakers of Punjabi or any of its dialects.
