Dilazak

The Dilazak (Pashto: دلزاک) is a Pashtun tribe, primarily living in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

Origins

Dilazaks are considered Pashtuns who belong to the Karlani but the Pashtuns never consider Dilazak As a Pashtuns because Dilazak was son of Syed Qab 

branch.[1]

History

Around 1520, a Pashtun tribe, the Yousafzai, was expelled from Kabul by Mirza Ulugh Beg, a Timurid ruler and paternal uncle of the Mughal Emperor Babur.[2] The Yusufzai migrated to Peshawar valley where they sought and received help from the Dilazak.[3] Later, the relationships between the two tribes deteriorated and a long war ensued.[4] 20 years later, at the battle of Katlang, the Yousafzai and Allied forces pushed the Dilazak east of the Indus River under the leadership of Malik Ahmed Khan.[5]
