::summary Pashtun tribe ::
Dilazak is a Pushtun tribe from Karlani Division of Afghans.
History
Around 1520, a Pashtun tribe, the Yousafzai, was expelled from Kabul by Mirza Ulugh Beg, a Timurid ruler and paternal uncle of the Mughal Emperor Babur. The Yusufzai migrated to Peshawar valley where they sought and received help from the Dilazak. Later, the relationships between the two tribes deteriorated and a long war ensued. 20 years later, at the battle of Katlang, the Yousafzai and Allied forces pushed the Dilazak east of the Indus River under the leadership of Malik Ahmed Khan.
