This article is about the Pashtoon tribe. For the Indian Kakar/Kakkar (Khatri) surname, see Kakkar. For the village in Iran, see Karkar, Selseleh. For the deer, see Muntjac.

The Kakar (Pashto: کاکړ) is a Gharghashti Pashtun tribe, based mostly in the Balochistan Province of Pakistan, and Loy Kandahar in Afghanistan.

Legendary origin

Kakars are sons of Gharghashti who was the son of Qais Abdul Rashid. In Herat, the Kakar are locally called Kak. Historically, the tribe has been called Kak-kor (lit. family of Kak). The tomb of Kakar (or Kak) is in front of Herat central Jamia Masjid's gate. Some historians[who?] argue that Kakar was first buried in Kohistan, but Ghiyath al-Din Ghori brought the body to be re-buried in a mosque in the city of Herat.

Kakar’s father’s name was Dani. Dani had four more sons named Panai, Babai, Naghar and Davi. Kakar has 18 own sons and six adopted. The Mashwanis are Arab origin Pukhtuns tribe settled in some parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan (Swabi, Mardan, Sirikot, Dir, Panjpai, Gadwalian, Panjgoor, Shakargarh, Quetta, D I Khan etc.) and Iran, are also supposed to be remotely connected to the Kakars in the female line, but they are said to be descended from Syed Muhammad Kalan Gesu daraz eleventh descended from Islamic Prophet Muhammad, as he married a Kakar woman Sher Bano. Mashwani is said to be one of his sons from Kakar wife.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
