The Yūsufzai, (literally "The descendants of Yusuf" (also spelled as Yousafzai), is a tribe of Pashtun people found in Pakistan, and in some eastern parts of Afghanistan, as well as in northern India.
History and particulars
Mughal Empire
In general, the Yusufzai were uncooperative with the rule of the Mughal emperorAkbar, who in late 1585 sent military forces under Zain Khan Koka and Raja Birbal to subdue them. In February 1586, Raja Birbal was killed fighting with the Yusufzais, who were led by the general Gujju Khan. It was not until about 1690 that they were partially brought under the control of the Mughal Empire.
Yusufzai tribes rose against Mughal rule during the Yusufzai Revolt of 1667, and engaged in pitched-battles with Mughal battalions near Attock.
Yousafzai State of Swat
In 1849, the Yousafzai established their own Yusafzai State of Swat under the leadership of Akhund Abdul Ghaffur, who appointed Sayyid Akbar Shah, a descendant of Pir Baba, as the first emir. After Akbar Shah's death in 1857, Akhund Ghaffur assumed control of the state himself. The state existed until 1969.
