Zaimukhts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zaimukhts are a Pashtun tribe living on the northwest frontier of Pakistan, to the south of the Orakzais. Zaimukhts are a small Pathan tribe on the Kohat border of the North-West Frontier Province. The Zaimukhts inhabit the hills to the south of the Orakzais between the Miranzai and Kurram valleys. Their country may be described as a triangle, with the range of hills known as the Samana as its base, and the village of Thal in the Kurram valley as its apex. This includes a tract on its western side occupied by an Orakzai clan. The total area is about 400 sq. m., of which the Orakzais occupy a fourth. The Zaimukhts are a fine-looking powerful race, with a fighting strength of some 3009 men.
