HISTORY OF KAKAR AND KAKAZAI TRIBE:

Kakazai


The Kakazai (see spelling variants below) are a Pashtun (aka Pathan) tribe originally from the Laghman province of Afghanistan.

They came to South Asia during Afghan invasions such as those of Mahmud of Ghazni, settling in various regions.

A major Kakazai group from Gurdaspur, East Punjab settled in twelve villages, including Babal Chak, Faizullah Chak, Sut Kohiah (Satkoha), and Wazir Chak, near Dhariwal [1]. At the partition of India in August 1947, having been initially told they (being Muslim) would be in Pakistan, they were caught up in the ensuing violence and the survivors displaced when their area became part of India.

Today, the majority of the Kakazai reside in Pakistan and Afghanistan, in the areas of Dara Kakazai (Valley of Watlai), Bajaur Agency, Lahore, Sialkot, Dera Ghazi Khan, Quetta, Karachi, Kashmir, Isa Khel, Musa Khel, and Kakazai (Pishin, Baluchistan). Consequently, they do not exclusively speak Pashto, but may speak other languages indigenous to Pakistan such as Punjabi, Siraiki, and Balochi.

"Malik" is a common given name or surname among Kakazai Pashtuns.

Notable Kakazai Pashtuns include Nawab Bahadur Yar Jang, Abdullah Malik and the historian Khan Roshan Khan.

The name "Kakazai" means "offspring/children/sons of little/younger boy" (in Pashto, Kakay or Kaka = younger/little boy, Zai = offspring/children/sons of, a root also used in Yousafzai). Spelling variants include: Kakezai, Kakay Zai, Kakayzai, Kakeyzai, Kaka Zai and Kakkayzai.



Kakar

Kakar or Kaker is a Pashtun tribe located in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is named for Kakar Afghan, who was the great-grandson of Qais Abdur Rashid. Kakar's father was Dani, son of Ghourghusht, son of Qais Abdur Rashid, according to the Afghan appendix of tribes.

Some of the Hindu also adopted Islam, but others remained Hindu. Among the Muslims, Kakars are mostly true Afghans. In the town of Kohana Abusyedzai Kakar, the Afghans exist in large numbers. They belong to the family of Malik Abdul Mali. Alikhel Kakar live in the District of Rohtik. Also, in other parts of India—especially Bihar and Bangol—Kakar is a known Afghan tribe.

Sher Shah Suri and Kakar==

Sher Shah Suri or Sher Khan's real name was Farid Khan. His father's name was Hassan Khan and his grandfather's name wae Ibrahim Khan Suri. Ibrahim was a middle-class and common man of ROWA (an independent land of Afghans which included the territories of Hassanabdal, Kabul, Peshawar, Herat, Kandahar and Koh-e-Sulaiman), and belonged to the sub-tribe Barakzai of Kakar. Barakzai is a sub-tribe of Taraghzai, son of Kakar. According to Sir Olf Caero, the author of book The Pathans, Sher Shah was born Sihasram in (Bihar) in 1479 CE, where his father was a landlord and a respected ally of a Mughal Empire. The real homeland of Sher Shah was likely located between Qaisi Ghar and Koh-e-Sulaiman, near the Kozhak range.

Kalkar Najin, in his book Sher Shah and His Times, asserts that this place is between Chaman and Ghazni and that it is Sargorgai (Toba Kakar Ranges), where the Kakar tribe has been living for centuries. Sir Olaf claims that when Sher Shah was young, he hunted and killed a lion (likely a Bengal tiger) by his own sword—and since the lion is called "Sher" in Pashto and Persian, the people of the area began to call him "Sher Khan." Sher Shah's hunting of the lion using a sword is similar to the story of David.
