YUSAFZAI

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 947 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
YUSAFZAI , a large group of Pathan tribes, originally immigrants from the neighbourhood of Kandahar, which includes those of the Black
Mountain
 , the Bunerwals, the Swatis, the
people
  of Dir and the Panjkora valley, and also the inhabitants of the Yusafzai plain in Peshawar
district
  of the North-West Frontier Province of India. Three sections of the tribe, the Hassanzais, Akazais and Chagarzais, inhabit the W. slopes of the Black
Mountain
 , and the Ytisafzai country stretches thence to the Utman Khel territory. The trans-border Yusafzais are estimated at 65,000 fighting men, giving a
total
 
population
  of about 250,000. The Yusafzais are said to be descended from one Mandai, who had two sons,
Umar
  and Yusaf.
Umar
  died, leaving one son, Mandan; from Mandan and Yusaf come the two
primary
  divisions of the Yusafzais, which are split into numerous subdivisions, including the Isazais, Malizais, Akazais, Ranizais and Utmanzais.
