In September 1965, when the Pakistani Armed Forces defeated the adventurous aims of an Indian army five times bigger in number than them, the whole world congratulated the efforts of the Pakistan Army and their leader, Field Marshall Muhammad Ayub Khan.

The Tareen tribe is one of the important tribes of Pashtuns. They have settled in Hazara district of the Frontier Province of Pakistan as well as certain areas of Balochistan. They are also present in sizeable proportions in the areas near Qandahar; particularly Tarinkot. It is said that they were part of the armies of Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi, Muhammad Ghauri and Moghul Emperor Zaheer ud Din Babar when they attacked the sub continent and after the conquests they settled here. The Moghul emperors assigned important responsibilities on the Tareen tribe. As a result of the support of the emperors, important Tareen figures like Sher Khan Tareen and Hussein Khan Tareen attained popularity.

The Hazara Tareen’s migrated from Qandahar in Afghanistan in the 17th Century AD. According to the author of “History of the Frontier”, the first Tareen to migrate from Qandahar to Hazara was Sher Khan Tareen. This happened around the year 1631 AD. After migration, Moghul emperor Shah Jahan provided him with an estate and also allowed him to keep up to a thousand fighters on horse back. Near the end of the 18th century, the leader of the Tareen Tribe was Himat Khan Tareen. It was during his time that the Tareen tribe attained a lot of significance.

From the time of the Moghul emperors to that of the Durrani and Sikh emperors, Hazara district was a part of Kashmir. In those days, it used to be known as Hazara Qarak. The name suggests that it must have been ruled by a Qarak Turk emperor. In those days, the word Hazara was only assigned to an area called Hazara Zarin. Other areas of present day Hazara used to be known as Hazara Pakhli, Tanawal, Agarwar, etc. The author of the book, “History of the Hazara (Urdu)” writes:

“After the attacks led by Ahmad Shah Abdali, the Durranis had a firm grip over this region. Later on, from the period between 1750 and 1752 AD, Ahmad Shah Abdali also conquered Pakhli and Kashmir. The only thing that the Durranis were interested in this area was the control of the main Kashmir Highway. This control would lead to further conquests if necessary. The administration of Pakhli was combined with that of Kashmir and the Qarak Hazara with that of District Attock. The Durranis did not want to directly rule over these lands and considered it wise to give control to popular local personalities who will have allegiance to Ahmad Shah Baba. Amongst these peoples were Najibullah Khan Tareen, Zabardast Khan aka Sooba Khan Tanoli and Sa’adat Khan of Garhi Habibullah. “

Ahmed Shah Abdali on his conquest of India deputed powerful tribal chiefs with conquered areas. In Hazara region, amongst these deputed chiefs were Najeebullah Khan Tareen, Sa'adat Khan Swati of Garhi Habibullah, Mir Zabardast Khan Tanoli (also known as Suba Khan Tanoli), and some others. Tareens have some history with other Pashtun tribes of Hazara Division, uniting against Sikhs in the Sikh reign. People like Muhammad Khan Tareen and Bostan Khan Tareen are heroes for their staunch resistance against the Sikh empire, now reverred as heroes of Hazara history.

General Ayub Khan Tareen

Muhammad Ayub Khan (Urdu/Pashto: محمد ايوب خان) HJ, NPk (May 14, 1907 – April 19, 1974) was a Field Marshal during the mid-1960s, and the political leader of Pakistan from 1958 to 1969. He became Pakistan's first native Commander in Chief in 1951, and was the youngest full-rank general and self-appointed field marshal in Pakistan's military history. He was also the first Pakistani military general to seize power through a coup.

Ayub Khan was born in the village of Rehana in Haripur to a Pashto and Hindko speaking family of the Pashtun Tareen tribe, the first child of the second wife of Mir Dad Khan, who was a Risaldar Major (the senior most non-commissioned rank)in Hodson's Horse, a cavalry regiment of the Royal Indian Army. For his basic education, he was enrolled in a school in Sarai Saleh, which was about 4 miles from his village. He used to go to school on a mule's back. Later he was shifted to a school in Haripur, where he started living with his grandmother. He enrolled at Aligarh University in 1922, but never completed his studies, as he was accepted into the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He did well at Sandhurst, and was given an officer's post in the British Indian Army and then joined the 1st Battalion of the 14 Punjab regiment (Sherdils), later known as 5 Punjab Regiment. During World War II he served as a captain and later as a major on the Burma front.Following the war, he joined the fledgling Pakistani Army as the 10th ranking senior officer (his Pakistan Army number was 10). He was promoted to Brigadier and commanded a brigade in Waziristan and then was sent initially with the local rank of Major General to East Pakistan (modern day Bangladesh) as General Officer Commanding a division that was responsible for the whole East Wing of Pakistan in 1948, for which non-combatant service he was awarded the Hilal-i-Jurat (HJ) and from where he returned in November 1949 as Adjutant General and then briefly was named Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

Ayub Khan was made Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan Army on January 17, 1951, succeeding General Sir Douglas Gracey, thus becoming the first native Pakistani general to hold that position. The events surrounding his appointment set the precedent for a Pakistani general being promoted out of turn, ostensibly because he was the least ambitious of the Generals and the most loyal.[1]

He would later go on to serve in the second cabinet (1954) of Muhammad Ali Bogra as Defence Minister, and when Iskander Mirza declared martial law on October 7, 1958, Khan was made its chief martial law administrator. This would be the first of many instances in the history of Pakistan of the military becoming directly involved in politics.
