'''Afghans''' are a proud and brave people. Most of their characteristics are unique and uncommon in others living with and around them. Majority of Afghans trace their history to Ten Lost Tribes of Jews[http://www.allaboutall.info/article/Theory_of_Pashtun_descent_from_Israelites] . On the other hand, studies are available from Jewish scholars which give Jewish opinion as well (To view some, click these links) [http://www.moshiach.com/features/tribes/default.php] [http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/index.html] . Afghanistan and Western/North-Western parts of Pakistan are their old abodes. Their genealogies start with two main branches which are '''Karraanee''' or '''Karlaani''' and '''Sarbaani''' meaning 'Children of Karraan or Karlaan' and 'Children of Sarban' respectively. Honourable Mr Karraan had two sons, '''Kodae''' and '''Kakae'''. Mr. Kodae, the eldest son, had two wives. The eldest son from the first wife of Mr. Kodae was Mr. Dilazak. The Dilazak are children of Mr. Dilazak. Famous Afghan Tribes like '''The Khattak''' , '''The Utmanzae''',''' Khugyani''', '''Mahsud''', '''Mangal''', '''Orakzae''',''' Wardak''' and '''Waziri''' are their first cousins. The Dilazak have the unique honour of being the very first tribe who came into Peshawar valley of today’s '''Islamic Republic of Pakistan''', much earlier than any other tribe. one reason was their original abodes being in ‘Suleman Range’ and country to the West. Today they are found in Sub-Continent of Asia and all over the world.
The Mughals had fluctuating relations with the Afghans. The Dilazak were on the eastern side of the Sindh River and thus vulnerable to the Mughal Army. Around 1607, Mughal emperor [[Jahangir]] ([[Muhammad Saleem]]) after visiting Kabul, left his large army under the command of [[Zaffar Khan Koka]], son of [[Zain Khan Koka]], and ordered him to wipe out the Dilazak and arrest the leaders of the [[Khattar]] tribe.<ref>AFGHANISTAN AND ITS INHABITANTS P-198 L40-47, GAZETTEER OF THE ATTOCK DISTRICT P-91 L37-41, YOUSAFZAE (URDU) BY ALLAH BAKHUSH YOUSAFI_EDITION 1960 P 77-79, “MEMOIR OF JAHANGIR BY THE LATE SIR H.M.

HISTORY OF THE DILAZAK

(For watching video on The Dilazak, visit my blog at http://dilazak.blogspot.com/ Or click this link [1]

Afghans are a proud and brave people. Most of their characteristics are unique and uncommon in others living with and around them. Majority of Afghans trace their history to Ten Lost Tribes of Jews[2] . On the other hand, studies are available from Jewish scholars which give Jewish opinion as well (To view some, click these links) [3] [4] . Afghanistan and Western/North-Western parts of Pakistan are their old abodes. Their genealogies start with two main branches which are Karraanee or Karlaani and Sarbaani meaning 'Children of Karraan or Karlaan' and 'Children of Sarban' respectively. Honourable Mr Karraan had two sons, Kodae and Kakae. Mr. Kodae, the eldest son, had two wives. The eldest son from the first wife of Mr. Kodae was Mr. Dilazak. The Dilazak are children of Mr. Dilazak. Famous Afghan Tribes like The Khattak , The Utmanzae, Khugyani, Mahsud, Mangal, Orakzae, Wardak and Waziri are their first cousins. The Dilazak have the unique honour of being the very first tribe who came into Peshawar valley of today’s Islamic Republic of Pakistan, much earlier than any other tribe. one reason was their original abodes being in ‘Suleman Range’ and country to the West. Today they are found in Sub-Continent of Asia and all over the world.

The Dilazak is an Afghan tribe[1] . They descended into the valley of Peshawar, now in Pakistan in Smanyid's dynasty from the Suleman Range, between 750 AD and 850 AD[2]. They were the first in all Afghans and were Muslims by that time [3]. They expelled or subdued local people of the Swati, Degan and Tirahi castes[4] . By the time of Mehmood Ghaznavi, they had reached the Sindh River (also called Abaseen, Neelaab in old times)[5] . They participated in Mehmood Ghaznavi's campaigns in large numbers under their leader Malik Yahya Khan[6] . Later they extended up to present day Hassan Abdal (near Taxila) and towards the north up to Abbottabad. In fact, accoding to ‘Aaeen-e-Akbari (The Constitution of Akbar (The most famous Mughal King of the then Hindustan (India)), there was only one tribe possessing lands in ‘Hazara Qarlagh’ (Including present day Hazara Division of North West Frontier Province(N.W.F.P.), Attock District and Hassan Abdal Tehsil of Punjab Province.[5][7] . Around 1520, another Afghan tribe, the Yusufzae, was expelled from Kabul, Afghanistan, by ‘Mirza Ulugh Beg’, the uncle of Mughal Emperor ‘Zaheeruddin Muhammad Babur’[6][8] . The Yusufzais migrated to the Peshawar valley and sought help from the Dilazak being the Afghan brothern which was granted to them.[7][9] . Later on the relationship between the two tribes deteriorated and a long war ensued[8][10] . Ultimately the Yousafzae along with some other tribes (including the Utmanzi, cousins of the Dilazak) were able to push the Dilazak east of Sindh River under their leader Malik Ahmed Khan, after 20 years[11] . The story of the Dilazak did not end here. The Mughals had fluctuating relations with the Afghans. The Dilazak were on the eastern side of the Sind River and thus totally accessible to a properly trained Mughal Army. Around 1607, Mughal Emperor Jahangir (Muhammad Saleem) once visiting Kabul in Afghanistan, left his large army under the command of Zaffar Khan Koka, son of Zain Khan Koka, and ordered him to wipe out the Dilazak and arrest the leaders of the Khattar tribe(Non-Afghan)[12] . Zaffar Khan Koka complied by the orders in true letter & sipirit and deported one hundred thousand families of the Dilazak to Lahore for onward dispersal in whole of India[13] . Only a few families of the Dilazak survived. In fact, most of the Dilazaks returned during the period of Mughal King 'Shahjahan' and setteled around in parts of ‘North West Frontier Province’ (N.W.F.P.) and ‘Punjab’ Province in their old abodes[14] . One of them was Saleh Khan who, alongwith his family settled in Sara-e-Saleh and 'Tir' in Haripur District of N.W.F.P. of Pakistan [15]. Their families still survive[16] . Today they are found in the districts Abbottabad, Haripur, Charsadda, Mardan,Swat, Peshawar, of which all are in N.W.F.P., and Attock and Rawal Pindi, in the Punjab Province. They are in the districts Shahjahan Pur and also in village Shahjahanpur District (Meerut), on Meerut Garh Road (Uttar Pradesh), Jalandhar (Indian Punjab), Bari Town (Rajasthan), Dilazi and other villages in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and some other regions of India[17].
