The caste of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is not 'Dhobi' (washerman) or 'Mochi' (cobbler) as some people have suggested on Answers.com. Infact, he is a Kashmiri whose ancestors migrated to Amritsar, India and after the creation of Pakistan in 1947, to Lahore, Pakistan. The title Mian is used by Arains and Rajputs in The Punjab. He is most probably an 'Arain' of Kashmiri origin.
