From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jogezai is a Pashtun tribe settled in Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as India. The majority of the Jogezais live in the valley of Zhob. Due to certain tribal fudes, they had to migrate to other parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Jogezai is a sub and ruling tribe of the Kakar tribe (one of the largest tribes) among the Pashtuns of both Pakistan and Afghanistan. Kakars reside in Afghanistan and in Pakistan apart of those who migrated to India and a large section of those in India are Hindus. Their chief (Sardar) or head of the tribe was Baikar Khan, who along with other tribes went with Ahmed Shah Abdali and conquered India. He was given the title of King of Zhob by the Afghan Monorchs. At that time Zhob was part of Afghanistan until the British took it over. The Jogezais hold a very prominent position among the Pashtun tribe of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
