Kakazai

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedigree of Qais Abdul Rashid of the Kakazai Pashtuns.

The Kakazai ( Pashtun ککازي, Urdu , Persian کَکازَئی), also: Loi , Loye Mamund ( Pashtun لوی ماموند; Urdu لو ئے / لوئی مَاموند) are part of the Mamund clan, and thus belong to the Tarkani tribe ( Pashtun ترکاڼي (ټبر) ترکاڼي ). Today most of the clan lives in Bajaur , Pakistan . However, the origins are in the Laghman province in Afghanistan . The family has multiplied so much that it can now be addressed as a separate tribe.

etymology

The name "Kakazai" means "descendants of Kakae or Kaka " (a patronymic). It is also the functional name for the paternal uncle. Zai = descendant / child of is also used in other Pashtun tribal names, such as the Yousafzai . Spelling variants are: Kakizi, Kakaezai, Kakezai, Kakaizai, Kakay Zai, Kakayzai, Kakeyzai, Kaka Zai and Kakkayzai.

In Pashto: کاکازي / کاکازي / ککےزي

And in Farsi: کاکازَئی / کَکےزَئی

history

The Kakazai came, together with other Pashtuns, in the course of several invasions as far as South Asia, including in the campaigns of Mahmud of Ghazni and Bahlul Lodi and settled in different regions in the course of these migrations.

Pir Moazzam Shah points out the warlike origin of the Kakazai Pashtuns in his book Tawareekh-e-Hafiz Rahmat Khani and Olaf Caroe writes in his book The Pathans 550 BC-AD 1957 about a battle between the Yousafzais and the Dilazaks in the Malik Haibu (Dilazak) received the first sword strike from a Payenda Kakazai Tarklanri , but was ultimately beheaded by Burhan Kakazai Tarklanri . Back then, these two warriors fought on the side of the Yousafzais with the aim of conquering Bajour from the Dilazaks.

For the invading armies, the Punjab and other areas in northern India became a retreat with rest houses, quarters and border posts that served to monitor the region, but also to collect information about weak points in other countries. It was mainly officers who settled in this region with their families. The areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Afghan Pashtun belt are poorly fertile areas and can only support a limited number of inhabitants. As soon as the population or the size of a tribe exceeded a certain number, some set out to move further east to more fertile areas such as Sindh , Punjab or Kashmir , or were driven away by other tribes in search of productive farmland. For example, the Sialkot area , similar to Faisalabad , Wazirabad and parts of Lahore, had much fertile farmland and was ruled successively by different Pashtun families, many of whom were Kakazai, but also Burki and Niazi .

British Raj era

Many Kakazai, Burki and other famous Pashtun families had settled in the Jalandhar and Gurdaspur districts of British India during colonial times , where they had established regular colonies. A main group of the Kakazai from Gurdaspur, East Punjab settled in twelve villages (including Babal Chak, Faizullah Chak, Sut Kohiah (Satkoha), Wazir Chak) in the vicinity of Dhariwal . In the course of the Pakistani independence movement (Pakistan Movement) in 1947, the residents were promised to join Pakistan because they were predominantly Muslim. As a result, however, they got between the fronts and were driven out, as the area was added to India .

present

Today most of the Kakazai live in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

In Afghanistan, the main settlement areas are in Kunar Province in Marawara Districts , and the Barkanai and Shortan areas are also in some areas of Laghman.

In Pakistan, the family members are scattered across all provinces, the focus is on the areas Dara Kakazai (Valley of Watelai, also: Mamund Valley), Bajaur ( Lagharai , Kalozai , Kaga , Mukha , Maina and Ghakhi in Tehsil Mamund), Lahore , Abbottabad , Peshawar , Sialkot (where Kakazai still belong to the ruling tribes and own large lands.), Dera Ghazi Khan , Quetta , Karachi , Kashmir , Jhelum , Bhalwal , Sargodha , Chakwal , Gujrat , Chak Karal , Isa Khel , Musa Khel , Killi Kakazai ( Pishin , Balochistan ).

Many of the Kakazai Pashtuns who are not resident in Pashto-speaking areas understandably no longer speak the language of their origin, but often adhere to Pashtunwali (code of honor) and traditional clothing , cuisine and a martial heritage. Many Kakazai speak today Urdu , Punjabi , Saraiki , Hindko and Baluchi .
