YOUSAF ZAI HISTORY

They migrated from Kabul when Mirza Ulugh Beg was governor. He succeeded his father, Shah Rukh, who was a son of Timur (Taimur-e-Lang), in 1446 A.D. In the time of Babur, who first came to Kabul in 1504 A.D., Peshawar had been colonized by Afghan tribes, such as the Swatis and Dilazaks. On his second visit, fourteen years later, he found the Yusufzais had spread into Swat. The current settlement of the Yusufzais must have come about after this time. Some believe that the Yusufzais are one of the Ten Lost Tribes of the Hebrews.
The Yusufzai took much of their current lands from the Afghan tribes Dilazaks and Swatis, after a single but desperate and decisive battle fought on the plains between the villages of Gadar and Langarkot. Babur himself helped subdue the tribes against Yususfzais, using matchlocks for the first time against the Jahangiri sultan, Mir Haider Ali Gebri of Bajour. Bibi Mubarka had married King Babur, and had also been titled as "Afghani Agacha".
Yousafzais have shown great bravery against Sikhs and British in the 18th and 19th century, especially the clans of Swat and Black Mountain of Hazara. The famous battle of Ambela, Sura took place in 1863. The sikh General Harri Singh was killed by the Yusafzai in a battle that was fought outside Peshawar in Chamkani.
