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.

During the filming, Sardar Naseer came across a pocket of some of the last remaining populations of Suleiman Markhor and Afghan Urial in Torghar. When Sardar Naseer realised that nothing was being done by either the government or the local tribesmen to save these wild ungulates from extinction, he took the difficult task upon himself, turning into a self-confessed ‘accidental environmentalist.’ At the time, his father was the Sardar (or chieftain) of the Tareen tribe, as is his nephew today (although the actual power passes traditionally from father to eldest son in Balochistan, all the sons can use the title of ‘Sardar’).

He attended Lahore’s prestigious Government College from 1953 to 1958 before leaving for the USA. “I was going to study International Relations… but instead I switched to communication and got admitted to The California Institute of Arts,” he says with a wide smile. In the 1960s The Cal Arts was a highly selective institution, only those who showed promise of outstanding talent were granted admission. While Sardar Naseer thoroughly enjoyed his studies in Cinema-Graphic, back in Balochistan his conservative family got upset over their son’s unconventional decision to pursue the arts. He nevertheless completed his training and decided to stay on in the USA.

Now a days the RAISANI tribe is called in the Brahui tribes, but it is wrong. The leader of each tribe is called Sardar. The Raisani tribal chief is called the Chief of Sarawan.The present Chief of Sarawan and Nawab of Raisani Tribe is Nawab Sardar Mir Mohammed Aslam Khan Raisani, son of late Nawab Sardar Mir Ghaus Baksh Khan Raisani Chief of Sarawan (Shaheed).

The principal sections into which the tribe is divided are the Sirajzai, Rustamzai, Sahizai, Ráhusainzai, Isiáni, Mehráni and Pandráni. With the exception of the Sardar Khéls, who live at Mithri in Kachi.

Their progenitor named Rais (Arabic for ruler) had five sons, Siraj, Rustam, Ráhusain, Siáhi and Issa. From all the five names the sections are mentioned above.

The Raisani appear to have been in the country before the Brahuis rose to power in the 15th century, and according to tradition assisted the latter in conjunction with the Dehwars to conquer Kalat from the Baloch. The tribe appears first to have acquired land in Mungachar and Chappar and were afterwards granted revenue-free grants in Kahnak and Dulái.
