Tareen Tribel

The Tareen are an important and big Pashtun tribe, they played a key role in Sultan Muhammad Ghori's army and showed great bravery. The Tareen tribes of Hazara migrated from Kandahar as well as the Pishin District of Balochistan in the 17th century CE under the leadership of Sher Khan Tareen.
Ahmed Shah Abdali on his conquest of India deputed powerful tribal chiefs with conquered areas. In the Hazara region, amongst these deputed chiefs were Najeebullah Khan Tareen, Sa'adat Khan Swati of Garhi Habibullah, Mir Zabardast Khan Tanoli (also known as Suba Khan Tanoli), and some others. Tareens have some history with other Pashtun tribes of Hazara Division, uniting against Sikhs during the period of Sikh rule. People like Sardar Muhammad Khan Tareen and Sardar Bostan Khan Tareen are heroes for their staunch resistance against the Sikh empire, now revered as heroes of Hazara history. In the History of Pishin the leading men among the Tor Tareen in Pishin (1905) were Khan Sahib Iskan Khan Noorzai, Malik Arsalan, Malik Pakur Khudaidadzai and Malik Baz Heikalzai.

 Branches or septs of the Tareen tribe:
The two main Tareen divisions, discounting the Abdali/Durrani, are the Spin Tareen (Safed Tareen, or White Tareen) and the Tor Tareen (Black Tareen), founded by Tareen's eponymous sons. Tareen was also said to have had a fourth son, Zhar Tareen. According to the Imperial Gazetteer of India (1908), The principal "Khels" (septs) and subsections of the Tareen tribe are
  • Tor
  • Spin
  • Bor or Abdaal
  • Zharh
Of these, the Tor and Bor/Abdal are the most important and numerous and have been discussed further below.
  Zharh Tareen:
Zharh Tareen are divided into following principal section:
  • Zharkhail

Tor Tareen

Tor Tareens are divided into the following principal sections:
  • Abubakar
  • Noorzai or Nurzai
  • Sakhizai (Sakhi Shehwarand)
  • Malikyar
  • Batezai

Bor Tareen or Abdal Tareen

The Bor or Abdali Tareens inhabit Afghanistan mostly and comprise chiefly of these sections:
  • Zirak
  • Barakzai
  • Popalzai
  • Alikozai
  • Achakzai
  • Panjpai
  • Alizai

The Bor/Abdali Tareens came to be known as 'Durranis' after Ahmad Shah Abdali became Emir of Afghanistan, and gradually this term superseded their original name. The Abdali/Durranis later on expanded into a separate tribal entity and the Durrani confederacy is generally considered as a separate tribe in itself, and one of the two most powerful tribal confederacies in Afghanistan, the other being the Ghilzai tribe.
