As of 1998 Loni had a population of 90,337. Males constitute 54% of the population and females 46%. Luni has an average literacy rate of 23%, lower than the national average of 35%.
History
Loni is a warrior branch of DurraniPashtoons and are related to Qarabagh of Afghanistan. They came to the sub-continent in the era of the Afghan emperor Ahmad Shah Durrani. They were then called as "OX" due to their warrior nature. A huge population of Luni tribe still exists in the Uttar Pradesh District of India.
They moved through Kashmir, Tank, Dera Ismail Khan, and Musa Khel to Khan Muhammad Kot and from there they attacked Alambar, Lakhi, Samaolang (Chamalung) and Thal Chutiali and got hold of the vast area, which then got a single name “LONI”. The boundaries of Loni are extended to Kohlu, Musa Khel, Barkhan, Loralai and Dukki.
They have fought several decisive wars against neighboring castes like MARRI, KAKAR and other tribes of the area!
Loni (B.K.) is a village in the southern state of Karnataka, India. It is located in the Inditaluk of Bijapur district in Karnataka. The Syed Bafaqui family are the guardians of the village from the past 300 years, Even today the present generation of the family is based in nearby Bijapur city and every year they organize a fair in memory of their ancestor who was deemed the first protector of the village. Many miracles have been attributed to this family of Bafaqui Syed's.
Demographics
As of 2001 India census, Loni (B.K.) had a population of 5139 with 2680 males and 2459 females.
Loni is mostly known for various educational institutions run by Pravara rural education society.
It is the native place of the late Padmashri Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil.
Tribe was an American short-lived comic book published first in 1993. Created by Todd Johnson and Larry Stroman, Tribe launched as part of Image Comics' second round of titles.
Axis Comics later printed two more issues (2, 3) of the series before itself going under due to financial difficulties. The final issue (0) was published by Good Comics.
Publication history
Tribe was a comic book about the adventures of a predominantly African-American and minority superhero group based in Brooklyn, New York. During its limited run, the plot of Tribe centered on their conflicts with a conglomerate of European and Japanese techno-pirates known as Europan, which had a mysterious connection to a power-crazed, armor-clad villain known as "Lord Deus". The final issue also featured an appearance by Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon, even positing an alternate origin for the character.
Due to constant changes behind the scenes, with Stroman and Johnson switching companies, Tribe's release schedule was inconsistent. In issue #1, Blindspot and Hannibal rescue young illusionist Alexander Collins from thugs hired by Europan, introducing him to their collective. In #2, Europan attacks both Collins (later to be known as "Front") and the lab of a Tribe-associated scientist who later becomes known as "Steel Pulse" after his liquid metal armor is released by gunfire from the Europan cyborgs and becomes bonded to his body. Tribe also faces the faux-"gangsta" superpowered assassin "Out Cold" at Front's club. Suddenly, the bizarre "Lord Deus" arrives on the scene, along with the Savage Dragon, who is on duty as a police officer.

Pashtuns back Baloch cause for freedom from Pakistan
Balochistan (Pakistan), Feb 05 (ANI): In a pre-emptive strike to stop the Pashtuns from backing the Baloch cause of freedom from Pakistan, the security forces heckled, harassed and arrested a group of Pashtun leaders midway, when they were going to attend the funeral of Arman Loni. Arman Loni- A local PTM leader, died earlier after he and his supporters who were peacefully protesting against the growing forced evictions in the region were subjected to open fire of Pakistani state forces. It is pertinent to mention here that this wasn’t an exclusive incident of Pakistan’s brutality which has been perennially exercising military high handedness to keep tight control over the people and the resources of the region. This latest incident of Pakistani security forces has sparked a widespread rag...

The gruesome murder of Professor Ibrahim alias Arman Loni and PTM’s core committee member by the police in district Loralai, in the South Western province of Balochistan is another grim reminder of the precarious situation of the rule of law, state excesses and the sense of impunity in the security apparatus while dealing with non-violent rights activists.
Prof Arman was a lecturer of Pashto literature in Quetta Degree college and a poet. Hailing from a modest family background, his father was making ends meet as a driver. The hardships of life could not deter Arman from learning to sharpen his political vision and activism. During student life while working seasonally in coal mines, mostly during vacations as a labour clerk and part time as tailor as well, he was introduced to the realit...

The gruesome murder of Professor Ibrahim alias Arman Loni and PTM’s core committee member by the police in district Loralai, in the South Western province of Balochistan is another grim reminder of the precarious situation of the rule of law, state excesses and the sense of impunity in the security apparatus while dealing with non-violent rights activists.
Prof Arman was a lecturer of Pashto literature in Quetta Degree college and a poet. Hailing from a modest family background, his father was making ends meet as a driver. The hardships of life could not deter Arman from learning to sharpen his political vision and activism. During student life while working seasonally in coal mines, mostly during vacations as a labour clerk and part time as tailor as well, he was introduced to the realities of life and politics. However, the difficult life sprouted from economic hardships could not discourage him from taking part in practical politics as a student.
Social and political sensitivity was engendered into the very environment the family was living in. Arman’s younger sister, Wrranga Loni, a politically aware poetess in a conservative tribal and tradition bound society, became a hallmark of the PTM’s struggle. Both of them would arrive at the area a week earlier to campaign and take part in the management of the forthcoming rally. However, it was mostly Wrranga who would give speeches from the stage while Arman preferred to be behind the stage.
This role exposed them to constant threats from the state security apparatus and state patronised tribal figures. One of the excuse was the leading role of Wrranga as a woman in the PTM postulating a threat to the patriarchal tribal code. It represented a deep anomaly of the state regarding inclusivity and also exposed its Machiavellian approach wherein all available tools were used whether religious or tribal against dissenters – Zubeida Jalal was presented as a blow to the tribal ridden society and politics of Balochistan but Ms Wrranga was not acceptable to deliver a speech from the stage because she was on the other side of the fence.
The manipulation of grafting unrest and insecurity in the Pukhtun belt in Balochistan is reminiscent of similar methods used in FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to create ‘safe havens’ for the Taliban
A few years ago, the Loni family had migrated from its ancestral village Sanjawi to Quetta. After the inception of the PTM, the Loni siblings became actively involved in the movement. Resultantly, their family was continuously intimidated by the LEAs and the tribal figures. Arman was summoned by the Loni tribe chief who cautioned him to cease his activities as the agencies were unhappy with him. Finally, the family decided to take refuge in Qilla Saifullah, hometown of Nawab Ayaz Jogaizai, a leader of PkMAP. While addressing the mourners on February 3, Nawab Ayaz revealed that last year Arman had confided in him about threats to his life.
Arman’s fears turned into reality on the evening of Saturday, February 2 when he was beaten to death by the police. Videos of eye witnesses circulating on social media accused the police of intentional murder. One of the videos accounts that after the sit in at Loralai was called off, mainly organised to protest against the bomb blast at the police centre in the district, Arman went inside the Loralai club to have tea. He was approached by his friends who told him that the police were looking for him. When he came out he saw the police and offered voluntary arrest without resistance. He requested the police not to use force but as soon as they saw him, the police party headed by ASP Attur Rehman Tareen, a retired Air Force officer, started beating him at the outset with a rifle butt. Shouting at one of his constables the ASP screamed, “you don’t know how to hit”, snatching his rifle to hit Arman’s neck. After receiving the fatal blow Arman collapsed.
Why did the police attack Arman when the protest sit-in was already called off and participants were dispersing peacefully? Why was Arman singled out? Why did the police not allow anyone for 20 minutes to rescue Arman to a hospital? How could a senior police officer commit murder in daylight if he did not enjoy a pat on his back from powerful quarters?
Ironically, there will be no answers to these questions because the same state institutions will be probing the murderers who are the primary accused.
If the ASP was a lone wolf and acted on his own, why did the mainstream media completely black out the news of Arman’s murder and his funeral attended by a multitude in a sparsely populated region? The historical shutter down strike called by the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party was observed successfully on February 4 in every big and small urban centres as well as in towns of the Pakhtun belt of Balochistan province. But the media remained criminally silent.

As of 1998 Loni had a population of 90,337. Males constitute 54% of the population and females 46%. Luni has an average literacy rate of 23%, lower than the national average of 35%.
History
Loni is a warrior branch of DurraniPashtoons and are related to Qarabagh of Afghanistan. They came to the sub-continent in the era of the Afghan emperor Ahmad Shah Durrani. They were then called as "OX" due to their warrior nature. A huge population of Luni tribe still exists in the Uttar Pradesh District of India.
They moved through Kashmir, Tank, Dera Ismail Khan, and Musa Khel to Khan Muhammad Kot and from there they attacked Alambar, Lakhi, Samaolang (Chamalung) and Thal Chutiali and got hold of the vast area, which then got a single name “LONI”. The boundaries of Loni are extended to Kohlu, Musa Khel, Barkhan, Loralai and Dukki.
They have fought several decisive wars against neighboring castes like MARRI, KAKAR and other tribes of the area!
