The Sahak (Pashto: سهاک) are a Ghilzai Pashtun tribe.

Tribes

[edit]

The Sahak tribe is historically divided into five main groups: Andar (or Shalghar Sohak), Yota Khel (or Kosin Sohak), Pan and Drang Sohak, Dara Sohak, and China Sohak. While the Andar group was previously considered separate, it is now regarded as part of the Sahak tribe.[1]

Traditional Occupations and Economic Activities

[edit]

Historically, the Sahak tribe was primarily settled in the Shalghar and Gardez areas. Many Sahak men migrated to the North-West Frontier Province (now part of Pakistan) for heavy labour, contributing significantly to the local economy. Others engaged in trade, casual labour, or worked as itinerant merchants hawking clothing in India. In some cases, members of the Sahak tribe also practiced usury as part of their economic activities.[2]
