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