The Yusufzai or Yousafzai is a tribe of Pashtuns primarily found in Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
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.
