Tareen

The Tareen (or Tarin) (Pashto: ترین) is a Pashtun tribe inhabiting southern Afghanistan, and western region of Pakistan.[1][2]

History

edit

Much of the tribe continues to live in their native lands in the southern parts of Afghanistan and Pishin in Baluchistan, Pakistan.[3] During the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628 to 1658) a group of Tareen/Tarin emigrated to the area which is now the Hazara region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[3][4] The Tareen Chiefs resisted the Sikh occupation of Hazara region which resulted in their properties/ land being usurped by Sikh armies.[4][5]

Branches (Clans)

edit

According to Ni'mat Allah al-Harawi in History of the Afghans, Tareen had three sons namely: Tor, Spin (Aspin or Speen) and Awdal/Born Tareen/Abdali. Their descendants today have adopted the names above as tribal identities and are known as Tor Tareen, Spin Tareen and Bor Tareen. These three major clans are further divided into smaller units.[6][7]

Tareens primarily live in Pishin,[8] Dukki, Loralai, Quetta, Ziarat, Mastung, and Harnai districts of Balochistan, while smaller populations are spread all over the province. They can also be found in parts of Afghanistan, punjab and sindh provinces of Pakistan, aswell as in India they are present. [citation needed]

In Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, the tribe has 'Tareen Vand' in Mardan.[9] In Haripur, a number of Tareen families claim to have settled there since 1600s, after migrating mainly from Pishin and Kandahar. They are also scattered in other parts of kpk aswell like Upper Dir, Lower Dir, Swat, Shangla, Buner, Malakand, Nowshera, Peshawar, Charsadda, Swabi, Bannu, D I Khan and in other districts of Kpk. In most of the parts of KPK Tareens speak Pashto as their 1st language whilst in haripur they speak Hindko and Saraiki in DI khan as 1st language. [citation needed]
