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

which sardar is M tahir tareen

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
• Ishaqzai
• Noorzai

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Tareens came to be known as 'Durranis' after Ahmad Shah Abdali became Emir of Afghanistan, and gradually this term superseded their original name.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.

Nurzai Tribel

The name Nurzai, liguistically, is a combination of Arabic and Pashto meaning son of the light. The word "nūr" derives from the Arabic word for the light. While the word "zai" derives from the Pashto word for son or son of. Zai affixed to the end of Pashtun tribal names is the Pashto equivalent of the popular Persian "zada" often affixed to the end of names belonging to indigenous Persian peoples.

The Nurzai that is actually spelled as "Noorzai" is the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan. A clan of Durani Pashtuns with the majority living in the Southern and Western provinces of Kandahar, Helmand, Herat, Farah and Nimroz. There are around three hundred thousand Noorzais living in Kabul, Mazar and other provinces of Afghanistan. With a population of almost 5 million, Noorzais make 1/6 of the entire Afghanistan's population. Noorzais are historically known to be tough warriors and the guardians of Afghanistan's southern and Western borders.

Atmaanzai Tribel

Atmaanzai or Utmanzai or Uthmanzai  is a Pashtun tribe in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Utmanzai are generally considered to be a clan of Yusufzai, but they are, in fact, cousin tribes. Ottman, the ancestor of Utmanzais was son of Umar a brother of Yusuf, the ancestor of Yusufzais. They live in Charsadda, Topi, Kotha, Maini, Batakara in Swabi District, Abbottabad, Sari Pandori, Khalabat Township, Haripur District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. In Punjab they are settled in Kasur District and on displacement after construction of Tarbela Dam, have settled in Attock, Hazara, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Khanewal Districts of Punjab .
The Utmanzai hold the extreme east of the right bank of the River Indus, also settling in a small area in the south of the Gadoon valley, and early in the 15th century were called across the Indus by the Gujjars of Hazara as allies against the Tareen Afghans, and appropriated the Gandgarh tract from Tarbela to the southern border of Hazara. About more than 35 years (as on date 12-12-2009) ago a huge population of Utmanzai tribe were living at the both sides of Indus river. People living there were migrated to different places in Pakistan due to the establishment of new Dam called Tarbela Dam near Tarbela Village. Most of them have settled in Haripur Khalabat Township. Some of them have settled in Punjab district Attock (Utmanabad, Pathankot, Islamkot, Sultanpur, Dareak). In Afghanistan Utmanzai lives near to the Pak-Afghan border(Torkham) in the village name Gardee Ghose.

Alakozai Tribal Pashtun

Alakozai meaning descendant of Alako in Pashto is the name of a Pashtun tribe in Afghanistan.

Background History. 
The Alakozai are a sub-tribe of the Abdali Pashtuns of Afghanistan.They are one of four sub-tribes belonging to the Zirak branch of the Durrani - Tareen - Bor Tareen - Abdali dynasty.Their eponymous ancestor is supposed to be Alako, son of King Zirak Khan, son of Abdali, son of Tareen, son of Sharif ud-din (Sharakh-bun), son of Ibrahim Sari (Saraband), son of Qais ul-Laik ('Abdu'r Rashid Pathan). he was the arisch chief of Ghor, and converted to Islam by the Islamic prophet Muhammad.It is said that Alako was buried at Nicharah, a valley in the Harboi mountains to the east of Kalt in Baluchistan.

 Alakozai Tribal Divided.
The Alakozai are found primarily in Helmand, Kandahar, Kabul, Laghman, Kunar Sarkani District and Herat provinces in Afghanistan, and form the majority of the population in the Sangin District. Jaldak, which is located 110 km northeast of Kandahar, is the original domicile of the Alakozai tribe. They belong to the Durrani confederation, and can be further divided into more subtribes. The Alakozai people stretch from Farah to Kandahar, and constitute a majority in the Arghandab District of Kandahar. The Arghandab district was given to the Alakozai tribe by King Nadir Shah, who brought down the Safavid empire of Persia with the help of the Alakozai in 1738.Arghandab was referred to by the Greek historians as Arakozia, or the "Land of Arako/Aloko". Alexander the Great faced a fierce resistance from the forefathers of the Alokozai's in Arghandab. Arghandab is also mentioned as Saraswati in Rigveda, and Harwati in Avesta.

Achakzai tribe pashtun

The Achakzai tribe’s primary home region is in the vicinity of Qila Abdullah in Baluchistan, but the tribal lands extend to the vicinity ofChaman on the Afghan border and individual Achakzai clans reside in Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province. Their territory includes the built up areas of Quetta, Qila Abdullah, Mian Wali, and the Pashtun areas of Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) that includes both North
and South Waziristan, Baluchistan, and the North-West Frontier Province. The tribe is a strong advocate of a Pashtun national entity, Pashtunistan.Tribal leadership is openly pro-Afghanistan and pro-Karzai.1 The tribe’s senior leader, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, spoke in favor of President Karzai’s government in 2003 and has made several trips to Kabul since then. The Achakzai are members of the Durrani Confederation and are Ziraks, just as is Hamid Karzai’s Popalzai tribe Much of the Achakzai tribe supported Communists during the Soviet occupation and the civil war that followed the Soviet withdrawal:
“Astride the road between Kandahar and Chaman (on the Pakistan border) are mainly the Achakzai tribe, along with Nurzai and Alikozai. The Ghilzai dominate the road from Kandahar to Kabul while on the road to Herat around Gereshk we have Popalzai, and also Barakzai, Achakzai, Alizai and Saddozai. The desert is mostly occupied by the Barachi [probably Barech], a tribe mainly into transportation generals including the hero of Jalalabad, Gen Asif Dilawar, was an Achakzai [emphasis added]. Defending Kandahar successfully during the Afghan war was Gen Nurul Haq Alooni [Ulumi], a Barakzai, an artilleryman trained in the US. Another famous general was Achakzai tribal Juma Chak. [emphasis added] Good fighters, the tribesmen could be persuaded where their interests are best served. An Afghan is an ally if his ego and friendship is stroked, a stubborn enemy if he is attacked. Because of the bombing, the Barakzai have pledged their loyalty
to Mullah Umar even ahead of the Nurzai, and the Nurzais are closer to the Taliban. Afghan loyalties can be won over but the widespread bombing and the “Haq episode” has put a dampener on such efforts.”The Achakzai were once a branch of the large Barakzai tribe, but Ahmad Shah Durrani was worried over this large tribe as potential competition for control of Kabul’s throne and split the tribe into two separate components and the Achakzai are a separate tribe today. Their original homeland was Maruf District, Kandahar Province. Achakzai are found over a large area of southern Afghanistan and can be found in Oruzgan Province and as far west as Herat. The Achakzai occupy the territory between the Kadanai and
Lora rivers; western edge of Pishin district; Khojak and Toba Hills; round Kandahar and near Gereshk. Some are found on the Russian frontier where they were moved by Abdur Rahman Khan in 1886 to reinforce the region’s non-Pashtuns against potential Russian aggression. There are two main sub-tribes of Achakzai currrently, one is the Ghabizai under the leadership of Ahmed Khan Achakzai (son of Haji Mohammed Khan Achakzai) and the other is the Ahmadzai which is led by Mehmood Khan Achakzai. Previously, this was one of the most stable Pashtun tribes, but for over nearly two decades they fought a internal tribal war in the area of Gulistan and Addullah Khan in Pakistan which led to the destruction of Gulistan Bazzar and much loss of life. After the death of Abdul Samad Khan Achakzai (the father of the current leader of Amidzai, Mehmood Khan Achakzai), the most favored person to represent Achakzai
was Haji Mohammed Khan Achakzai. His desire for reunification with Afghanistan’s Achakzai caused the Pakistani Government to believe thatHaji Mohammed Khan could reunite the Pashtun territory in Afghanistan, which would remove a quarter of Pakistan. They prevented this by causing enmity within the tribe. Mehmood Khan wanted to succeed his father, Abdul Samad Khan, in the tribe’s leadership and with the help of ISI he killed Haji Mohammed Khan and two of his sons in 1990 and declared himself as the new Achakzai leader. The Ghabizais are still a powerful tribe and control Pakistan’s Gulistan district.A Pakistani journalist wrote about the situation within the Achakzai tribe: “Two sub tribes of the Achakzai tribe viz. Hameedzais [Ahmadzais] and Ghabezais have been at war for over a decade. The formerare the original inhabitants of the area whereas the latter are recent migrants from Afghanistan. Ironically, the former encouraged them to migrate into Pakistan to be able to face off Kakar tribe, with whom they have had traditional rivalry. It all started in 1987 when one person named Kakai Hameedzai was killed when he had gone out for a shoot with a Ghabezai by the name of Mohammad Khan. Mohammad Khan claimed the death to be an accident, but the victim’s family thought otherwise and suspected him of the perfidious murder. Fearing a chain reaction and further bloodshed as a result, the victim’s family shifted to the safe environs of Quetta. Some years later in 1990, the suspected murderer went to Quetta and met the son of the deceased at the latter’s car show room. But he refused to shake the hand of the visitor. Soon after Mohammad Khan Ghabezai was killed, not coincidentally, along with his two sons near Pishin on Quetta-Chaman road. Because Mohammad Khan was the chief of his sub-tribe, his people thought that unless they killed his counterpart, the ends of tribal justice could not be met. Mr. Mohammad Khan Achakzai, Chairman of Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PKMAP) happens to be the chief of Hameedzai [Ahmadzai] tribe.
“With the murder of Mohammad Khan Ghabezai, basis of an internecine war had been laid and in a tit for tat murder, only a month later, a cousin of Mr.Mohammad Khan Achakzai was killed after he had been kidnapped. This was too close for comfort for the tribal chief f Hameedzai. On 30/31 May 1991; a full-blown war erupted between the two sections of the same tribe and lasted for two to three days. Both sides took positions and fired throughout the day and the night for two days. All kind of weapons short of tanks and armored personnel carriers was used including rocket launchers, grenades and recoilless rifles. Frontier Corps (FC) from all over the province was called to quell the strife. They cordoned the area and laid a siege for 15 to 20 days and succeeded in achieving a cease-fire. 15 to 20 people lost their lives. Very few arrests were made and the situation flared up again after two three months. It was on a much smaller scale and could be controlled by the local FC. Estimates are tentative because it is pointless for the victims to go through the bureaucratic hassle of registering a case and get nothing out of it. Balochistan is divided into A and B areas for the purposes of maintenance of law and order. Police areas are known as A and generally cover towns and the cities comprising about 5% of the total provincial area. Kila Abdullah bazaar is a police area and is divided right down the middle between the two parties. Tehsil offices and other Govt. offices are located on Hammedzai side of the divide thereby restricting the access of the Ghabezais to these offices. Therefore the Ghabezais cannot go these government offices. The area is inaccessible
to one side to the strife that is Ghabezais because the Tehsil office is located in an area controlled by the enemy.” The Achakzai are enemies of the Durrani Panjpai Noorzai tribe and they have fought one another in the past. For example, a large battle fought in southern Afghanistan during the Soviet and communist period occurred at Spin Boldak where communist Achakzais fought mujahedin militia fighters. Afghanistan scholars Barnett Rubin and Robert Kaplan provide good examples of Noorzai animosity toward the Achakzais:
From Barnett Rubin:
“Ismatullah Muslim was a Soviet-trained army major at the time of the 1978 coup. He was … of the Achakzai tribe from the area between Qandahar and the Pakistani border. This tribe was known for its raiding and smuggling activities … and Ismat Muslim was no exception. He had engaged in smuggling at least since the days where he had the distinction of being the first Afghan military officer to be imprisoned there. As early as 1979 he led his tribe into the resistance and was conducting both military and smuggling operations (including the heroin trade) in the area between Qandahar and Quetta…. In 1984, following a dispute with the ISI over his smuggling activities and his refusal to join any of the Islamic parties, Ismat Muslim defected to the regime, which made him a general. His principal role was control of transit points and roads between Pakistan’s Baluchistan and Qandahar…. Ismat Muslim suffered a bloody defeat at Spin Boldak after the Soviet withdrawal.” But the situation at Spin Boldak was far more complex and involved the long-running tension between Noorzai and Achakzai tribes. Robert Kaplan was traveling in the area during the fighting following the Soviet withdrawal and wrote: “Spin Boldak … battle had little to do with the struggle against the Communists … it was the best case study of Pathan tribalism that the war produced.
“On paper, the mujahedin of the fundamentalist parties, led by Khalis’ Hezb-i Islami, fought the forces of General Ismatullah Muslim of the Afghan regime’s militia. In reality, it was a battle between the Achakzais and the Nurzais, two hostile clans within the Abdali [Durrani] tribal family….
“Ismatullah was a warlord in 1984, unhappy with the amount of weaponry the mujahedin was giving him, promptly switched to the side of the Afghan Communists, who made Ismatullah a general and paid him and his Achakzais handsomely. “One of Ismatullah’s first moves was to fortify Spin Boldak, a sheer rock mountain rising from the flat desert. This afforded the Nurzais, who claimed it as their territory and held a pistol to the head of Yunus Khalis. Khalis’ teenage bride was one of the twin daughters of Nadir Khan Nurzai, the head of the clan. Nadir Khan had reportedly blackmailed Khalis the day before the wedding,
saying, in effect, “I’ll give you my daughter only if you give me and my men weapons to fight Ismatullah.”

Babar tribe Pashtun

The Babar or Babori tribe is a Pukhtun tribe from the Sarbanri branch.The Babar diaspora is spread across Pakistan and Afghanistan today. However, the most prominent communities remain the same, the most notable of which is in Pirpiai. Chaudhwan still has a large number of Babars living there. Other communities include, Zhob, Quetta, Multan, Kandahar, Shikarpur and Sindh.In the First World War 78 people of the Babar tribe from Pirpiai went to the war as Indian Army men and four were killed. Hence, Pirpiai is one of the very few villages which has an official plaque commemorating its First World War contribution.Babars have risen to many prominent positions in the government and army of Pakistan, along with many other career fields such as Engineering, Medicine, Acting, etc. Some notable Babars from Pirpiai include, Khurshid Zaman Babar a well know lawyer, Abdullah Zaman Babar, Colonel Mir Haider Khan, Major General Adam Khan, Shah Zaman Babar a prominent lawyer and Justice of Peshawar High Court till 1975, Farouk Adam Khan (a prominent lawyer and later on the Prosecutor General of the National Accountability Bureau) and Major General Naseerullah Khan Babar. Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan also hails from the same tribe.
