The Yusufzai or Yousafzai is a tribe of Pashtun people found in parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India.

History and particulars

Mughal Empire

In general, the Yusufzai were uncooperative with the rule of the Mughal emperor Akbar, 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.
