Tareen History

Tareen is the pashtu tribe its an important tribe of pashtun most of them they are in kandahar, khushaab near kandahar airport. They played a very important role in Sultan Muhammad Ghori's army and showed great bravery. The Tareen tribes of Hazara Division migrated from Kandahar and Distt Pishinm balochistan in the 17th century CE under the leadership of Sher Khan Tareen.

Ahmed Shah Abdali on his conquest of India deputed powerful tribal chiefs with conquered areas. In Hazara region, amongst these deputed chiefs were Najeebullah Khan Tareen, Sa'adat Khan Swati of Garhi Habibullah, Mir Zabardast Khan Tanoli (also known as Suba Khan Tanoli), and some others. Tareens have some history with other Pashtun tribes of Hazara Division, uniting against Sikhs in the Sikh reign. People like Muhammad Khan Tareen and Bostan Khan Tareen are heroes for their staunch resistance against the Sikh empire, now reverred as heroes of Hazara history.

Muhammad Khan Tareen Shaheed

Pakistan's first native Army Chief and also the first military dictator of that country, Field Marshall Muhammad Ayub Khan belonged to a Tareen family whose members have always left behind their mark on battlefields. Three such members of Muhammad Ayub Khan’s family stand up at this occasion; Muhammad Khan Tareen, Bostan Khan Tareen, and Ghulam Khan Tareen. These were the ones who attained martyrdom but never even gave a second thought of bowing their heads before the enemy. Ayub Khan's image as a strong General, however, was a bit affected after the Indo-Pakistan war in 1965. Field Marchall Ayub was forced to sign the famous Tashkent Declaration with the Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri accepting certain conditions that Pakistan was not comfortable with.

General Ayub Khan Tareen

Muhammad Ayub Khan (Urdu/Pashto: محمد ايوب خان) HJ, NPk (May 14, 1907 – April 19, 1974) was born in Rehana, Haripur. In Tareen their sub tribe is Tor Tareen, Batezai (Pishin). Their family is migrated from Qilla Batezai Pishin, Balochistan to Haripur. Muhammad Ayub Khan Tareen is one of the most famous members of the Tareen. He fought in Burma during WWII and was a Field Marshal during the mid-1960s, and the political leader of Pakistan from 1958 to 1969. He became Pakistan's first native Commander in Chief in 1951, and was the youngest full-rank general and self-appointed field marshal in Pakistan's military history. He was also the first Pakistani military general to seize power through a coup.

He would later go on to serve in the second cabinet (1954) of Muhammad Ali Bogra as Defence Minister, and when Iskander Mirza declared martial law on October 7, 1958, Khan was made its chief martial law administrator. This would be the first of many instances in the history of Pakistan of the military becoming directly involved in politics.

Sardar Bashir Khan Tareen

Sardar Bashir Ahmad Khan Tareen was born at Pishin in Balochistan in 1938. His sub tribe is Noorzai. He is the son of Sardar Khair Muhammad Khan Tareen, Sardar of Pishin and brother of Sardar Naseer Khan Tareen and uncle of Sardar Mustafa Khan Tareen. He received his early education at the local High School and opted for agriculture and maintenance of the family lands and property. He took special interest in the development of his area and started his political career by joining National Pakhtoon Khawah Balochistan in 1972. He held the office of the Provincial Minister for Social Welfare and Religious Affairs and was again taken as Minister for Food and Fisheries in the caretaker government of Balochistan. He joined Jamhoori Watan Party in August 1990 and remains as a Founder-Member of the JWP. He has been to Afghanistan, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, USA and Saudi Arabia on private, political and official errands.

He is Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Water and Power and is also represented in Senate Committees on Local Government and Rural Development and Works and Environment and Urban Affairs.

Sardar Naseer Khan Tareen

Sardar Naseer Khan Tareen was born in district Pishin in Sardar home. He is the Son of Sardar Khair Muhammad Khan Tareen. Sardar Naseer Khan Tareen, a US trained professional film-maker discovered this when he was commissioned by the Government of Balochistan to make a film on the allegedly rich wildlife of the province in 1984. During the filming, Sardar Naseer came across a pocket of some of the last remaining populations of Suleiman Markhor and Afghan Urial in Torghar. When Sardar Naseer realised that nothing was being done by either the government or the local tribesmen to save these wild ungulates from extinction, he took the difficult task upon himself, turning into a self-confessed ‘accidental environmentalist.’ At the time, his father was the Sardar (or chieftain) of the Tareen tribe, as is his nephew today (although the actual power passes traditionally from father to eldest son in Balochistan, all the sons can use the title of ‘Sardar’). Sardar Naseer’s ancestral home is an old fort located about 30 kilometres north of Pishin, and is still inhabited by members of his extended family. Sardar Naseer comes from Balochistan, from a town called Pishin near Quetta. In his early 60s, he is a tireless traveler and a cultured man. He has all the sophistication of a globe-trotter who is equally at home in both the east and the west. He remains a bachelor to this day, saying “This is why I have all the time in the world for my work.” Sardar Naseer received his initial schooling in Pishin, later moving to Quetta and Lahore for his higher education. He attended Lahore’s prestigious Government College from 1953 to 1958 before leaving for the USA. “I was going to study International Relations… but instead I switched to communication and got admitted to The California Institute of Arts,” he says with a wide smile. In the 1960s The Cal Arts was a highly selective institution, only those who showed promise of outstanding talent were granted admission. While Sardar Naseer thoroughly enjoyed his studies in Cinema-Graphic, back in Balochistan his conservative family got upset over their son’s unconventional decision to pursue the arts. He nevertheless completed his training and decided to stay on in the USA.

Tareen Residence

The base of Tareen tribe is in Pishin near Quetta in Baluchistan province of Pakistan. This area was formerly a part of Afghanistan but was ceded to the British after the Second Afghan War. Some families migrated to Haripur in Hazara Division in the present North West Frontier Province of Pakistan (then part of British India. Tareens are also settled in Quetta, Pishin, Harnai, Dukki (Only the Spin Tareen branch of the tribe), and Gulistan districts in Balochistan and Hazara Division, North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. They are also present in sizeable proportions in the areas near Kandahar in Afghanistan. A provincial capital in central Afghanistan is also named "Tareen Kot" (Meaning castle of the Tareens). The Tareens have a sizeable presence in Multan since the times of Ahmad Shah Durrani. One Abdul Karim Khan Tareen migrated from Multan to Istanbul (Then capital of erstwhile Ottoman Turkey) in mid-nineteenth century and his descendents are living in Turkey but they do not use the Sirname "Tareen", instead they use the name "Bey".

RAISANI

Raisani is a TAREEN (TOR TAREEN) tribe in Balochistan, Pakistan. The Raisani are the most influential among the TAREEN tribes, their Chief being the head of the Sarawan division of the TAREEN confederacy. TIPU SULTAN was the great empiror of TOR TAREEN tribe. Now a days the RAISANI tribe is called in the Brahui tribes, but it is wrong. The leader of each tribe is called Sardar. The Raisani tribal chief is called the Chief of Sarawan.The present Chief of Sarawan and Nawab of Raisani Tribe is Nawab Sardar Mir Mohammed Aslam Khan Raisani, son of late Nawab Sardar Mir Ghaus Baksh Khan Raisani Chief of Sarawan (Shaheed). They are the descendants of the Prophet Ibrahim.

The principal sections into which the tribe is divided are the Sirajzai, Rustamzai, Sahizai, Ráhusainzai, Isiáni, Mehráni and Pandráni. With the exception of the Sardar Khéls, who live at Mithri in Kachi.

Their progenitor named Rais (Arabic for ruler) had five sons, Siraj, Rustam, Ráhusain, Siáhi and Issa. From all the five names the sections are mentioned above.

The Raisani appear to have been in the country before the Brahuis rose to power in the 15th century, and according to tradition assisted the latter in conjunction with the Dehwars to conquer Kalat from the Baloch. The tribe appears first to have acquired land in Mungachar and Chappar and were afterwards granted revenue-free grants in Kahnak and Dulái.

By their close conjunction with the latter, the Raisani have always held a dominant position in the Brahui confederacy, and the Sirajzai, the section of the Chief, have been conspicious for the part they have played in Kalat history.
