Dilazak is a Pushtun tribe from Karlani Division of Afghans.
History
[edit]The Dilazak Afghans/Pashtuns first settled the regions across the Khyber Pass in the 11th century, from the regions of Bajaur to the Peshawar Valley with Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni, and a large contingent of Dilzak Afghans joined under Sultan Mahmud for his expedition against Somnath.[1][2]
The natives were written to be red-complexioned "kafirs"[1] and were displaced or left due to subjection by the Dilzak Afghans that after conquering the region drove out the natives away into the mountain retreats of the neighbouring valleys.[3]
Around 1520, a Pashtun tribe, the Yousafzai, was expelled from Kabul by Mirza Ulugh Beg, a Timurid.[4] The Yusufzai migrated to Peshawar valley where they sought and received help from the Dilazak.[5] Later, the relationships between the two tribes deteriorated and a long war ensued.[6] 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.[7]
