Does Lar stem from Pushto phrase?
How many of us can frankly deny that a particular location called "Lar" has not been derived from the Pushto language? If they deny, what remains their solid or concrete argument in support of this very direct denial? That could be considered a lot of insufficient capability.
Are the Laris not attached to the place called Lar Road in Deoria district? Or the term Lar has not been attached to the Pashto word Lar, which more or less denotes inhabitants of Afghan origin settled in low-lying areas, basically covering Pakistan?
It warms the whole of this story like a bit of slow fire. It even transforms their likeness to find the origin of the term. It grew rather more gradually, perhaps out of the mildly unconscious part of utter reality.
It was not a part of any pugnacious vanity that we come to admit the truth of its very origin. How long will it go on to the mildest denial? Moreover, it was penned with inexhaustible ingenuity to find a perfect option for reaching the very solid origin that had not been taken up as an afterthought.
The Pashto phrase: LAR O BAR YAW AFGHAN, throws ample light upon the origin of the quite popular name Lar of a likely Qasba in eastern Uttar Pradesh. It basically defines the Afghans living in the lowlands (i.e., Pakistan) and the Highlands (i.e., Afghanistan) as one.
The entire narrative is no doubt based on a Pashto saying cited in a book review I read years ago.
Through this particular Pushto phrase, the origin of the term Lari could become clear to all those bearing this surname, broadly popular.
This place is also situated by the river in the UP. This similarity somehow emboldens the reference to the Pashto phrase. Some may refute it, for their plea will be completely different.
Could it not be possible that some traders would have situated themselves along the riverside? Whatever it may have been, the term Lar hints at this possibility.
It would have been all those who settled in India during Muslim rule or the later period who chose to associate their identity with their original place, and why did we get this particular geographical title?
Notwithstanding, it surely requires concrete research. They had chosen quite interior areas, and there are a whole lot of people calling themselves Lari. Though there could be additional theories, as was recounted by all those who took a deep interest in this quite popular surname.
