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 in the 17th century CE under the leadership of Sher Khan Tareen.

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.
