Origin & Heritage of the PUN Caste

Scientific evidence and archaeological remains claim that the development of human civilization began in South Africa. The origin of human civilization is said to have started in South Africa and spread to various countries, where people lived a nomadic life, sustaining themselves by eating forest roots and tubers and hunting wild animals, as recorded in the pages of history.
In this context, the word “Pun” is also regarded as a distinct term. Research on the origin of the Pun community suggests that they migrated from the northern valley of the Yellow River in China, specifically from the PUN/PAN/PYON region. Living a nomadic lifestyle, they are believed to have arrived thousands of years ago through the northern Korala pass and western routes, eventually settling around the Dhaulagiri region. During this settlement process, the surnames (clans) of the Pun community gradually developed. Today, there are more than one hundred surnames (clans) within the Pun community.
