  • Kakar tribe history

    Kakar is the name of a large Pashtun tribe, with members living in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.


    History

    According to the history of Afghanistan, the Kakar tribe established an empire in Afghanistan and spread the glory of their family name. The originator of the Kakar tribe is Dani, who was son of Ghourghusht and grandson of Qais Abdur Rashid. The Kakar groups in India were prominent leaders of Punjab, including a notable governer of Punjab, in the late 1800s. Under Kakar leadership, India's Punjab rose to great heights. Some Afghan clans related to the Kakar family include:

    Sanzarkhel
    Taraghzai
    Barakzai
    Parizon
    Mirdadzai
    Jogizai
    Abubakarzai
    Abusyedzai
    Sanzarkhel, Taraghzai or Taragharai and Santia (sub tribe of Abubakarzai Kakar) are the biggest sub-tribes of the Kakar in Balochistan. Historians such as Abdul Hai Habibi and Bahdur Shah Zafar Kakakhel are confident that the Jadoon are also part of the Kakar tribe.

    Kakar have descendants in western provinces of Pakistan but are mostly in Afghanistan and eastern Iran.

    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 Hasan Abdal, 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, author of the 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 the local languages, 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.

    Kakar (Afghan)
    Kakar Afghan was one of the grandsons of Qais Abdur Rashid. Kakar's father's name was Dani son of Ghourghusht, who was son of Qais in the Afghan appendix of tribes. According to Afghan and Muslim historians, Ghourghusht was alive in 388 hijri (by the Islamic calendar). Kakar is also called in some parts of Afghanistan Kakar-khel. In Herat, Kakar is locally called Kak. Historically, the tribe has been called Kak-kor (family of Kak). The tomb of Kakar or Kak is in front of Herat central Jamia Masjid's gate. Afghan historians say that Kakar was first buried in Kohistan, which is in Ghor province of Afghanistan, but Herat's ruler Sultan Ghyasudin Tahglok brought the body to be re-buried in a mosque there in the city. Muhammad of Ghor was also Kakar and belongs to the sub-tribe named Taghluk or Taghruq. Dani had four more sons named Panai, Babai, Naghar and Davi. Kakar had 18 real sons and six adopted sons - 24 sons altogether. The names of Kakar's eighteen biological sons are as follows:

    Taraghzai (Taragharai)
    Jadram
    Serad or Sherdad
    Zalghozi
    Dumar

          "Do not lose hope in adversity and complain that God singled you out for punishment, remitting others guilty of worse sins. Your present state could very well be His intent to elevate your spiritual station. Or He could just be testing your faith. Everyday that you persevere, you grow closer to perfection. Thus, your present despair may be the beginning of an infinite blessing". - Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani.

              Sher shah suri was not kakar. Suri is separate tribe of lodhi confederation. Suri is cousin tribe of other lodhi tribes like lohanis, Niazis, marwats, kundis, miankhels, daulat khels etc.

              Lodhi dynasty of india invited only their kinsemen to india, one of which were suris. The two important generals of sher shah suri were haibat khan niazi and khawas khan marwat.

                Dear wikipedia is not a good source especially in case of pashtun topics. sher shah suri is my favourite personality so i have checked his background. All proper pashtun books describe him as susi, one of branch of lodhi. Remnants of suris are still in tank, an abode of lodhi tribes.

                Read History of pathans by haroon rashid, he has done most extensive research abt pashtuns.

                        These are high level discussions, you will find historians and scholars interested in background of a historical figure.

                        Accuracy is important, u cant say that qauid-e-azam was jat or allama iqbal was rajput.
