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 ruling tribe of the Kakar tribe. 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 Jogezai 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.
