USTARANA

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 811 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
USTARANA , a Pathan tribe who inhabit the outer hills opposite the extreme
south
  portion of Dera Ismail
Khan
 
district
  in the North-West Frontier Province of India. Originally the Ustaranas were entirely a
pastoral
  and trading tribe; but a quarrel with their neighbours, the Musa Khel, put a stop to their annual westward immigration, and they were forced to take to
agriculture
 , and have since acquired a good deal of the plain country below the hills. Their territory includes only the eastern slopes of the Suliman mountains, the
crest
  of the range being held by the Musa Khel, Isots and Zmarais (see SULIMAN HILLS).' The Ustaranas are venturesome traders, carrying goods from Kandahar as far as
Bengal
 . They are a fine manly race, quiet and well-behaved, and many of them enlist in the Indian army and
police
 .
