caters to the emerging needs and individual aspirations. The study is carried out
in Kothal township Kohat employing ethnographic approach. Individual and
group interviews are conducted for collection of data. The aim of this paper is to
see the emerging patterns of social capital building in the form of „inter‟
community links because of Nuclearization of family in response to growing prerequisites of modern life
