(Tirah Valley)
The Tirah, Is Located In Khyber, Kurram And Orakzai Agencies In The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province Of Pakistan, While Its Smaller Part Straddles The Border To The North Lying In Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan. Tirah Lies Between The Khyber Pass And The Khanki Valley. It Is Inhabited By The Afridi, Orakzai And Shinwari Tribes Of Pashtuns. Tirah Comprises An Area Of Some Six To Seven Hundred Square Miles And Includes Under This General Name All The Valleys Lying Round The Source Of The Bara River. The Five Chief Valleys Are Maidan, Rajgul, Waran, Bara And Mastura. Maidan, The Summer Home Of The Afridis, Lies Close Under The Snow-Bound Ridges Of The Safed Koh At An Elevation Of About 7,400 Ft (2,300 M). It Is An Oval Plain About Seven To Eight Miles (13 Km) Long, And Three Or Four Wide, And Slopes Inwards Towards The Centre Of Its Northern Side, Where All The Drainage Gathered From The Four Corners Of The Plain Is Shot Into A Narrow Corkscrew Outlet Leading To The Bara Valley. Centuries Of Detritus Accumulated In This Basin Have Filled It Up With Rich Alluvial Soil And Made It One Of The Most Fertile Valleys On The Frontier. All Its Alluvial Slopes Are Terraced And Revetted And Irrigated Till Every Yard Is Made Productive. Here And There Dotted About In Clusters All Over The Plain Are Square-Built Two Storey Mud And Timber Houses, Standing In The Shade Of Gigantic Walnut And Mulberry Trees. Up On The Hillsides Surrounding The Maidan Basin Are Wild Olives In Wide-Grown Clumps, Almost Amounting To Forest, And Occasional Pomegranat.
( Location )
Tirah ValleyLying close to the Afghan-Pak border and difficult terrain, control of Tirah for the government of Pakistan has been difficult. In 2003, for the first time since the independence of Pakistan, Army troops entered the Tirah valley.
According to a legend a group of Pashtuns living in Tirah, the Orakzai, got their name from an exiled prince from far away Persia.[8] They include 18 tribes. Those 18 tribes are collectively known as Orakzai. But the greater part of Tirah's population belongs to the Afridi tribe.
The ancient inhabitants of Tirah and the surrounding areas were the Tirahis, who were driven out of the country by Pir Roshan; and a remnant of them fled to Nangarhar. Soon afterwards, in 1619 or 1620, Mahabat Khan, Subahdar of Kabul under the emperor Jahangir, treacherously massacred 300 Daulatzai Orakzai, who were Roshania converts; and, during his absence on a visit to Jahangir at Rohtas, Ghairat Khan was sent with a large force via Kohat to invade Tirah. He advanced to the foot of the Sampagha pass, which was held by the Roshanias under Ihdad and the Daulatzai under Malik Tor..
