Dawari
Encyclopedia
The Dawari, or Dauri are a Pashtun
tribe in the Waziristan
area of Pakistan
. The Dawaris inhabit the Tochi Valley
, otherwise known as Dawar or Daur, and are a homogeneous tribe of considerable size.
At the beginning of the twentieth century the tribe had some 5,200 fighting men. Their location along the fertile land meant they were prone to fevers and other ravaging diseases that are bred in the wet sodden lands of the Tochi Valley
, lying at the bottom of a deep depression exposed to the burning rays of the sun. The effects of these ailments may be clearly traced in the drawn or bloated features and the shrunken or swollen limbs of nearly every Dawari that has passed middle life. Although they were held in contempt by neighbouring tribes they have held their own for centuries against the warlike and hardy Waziris. The reason being that the Dawaris stood together, whilst the Waziris did not. With the advent of British
government, the Dawaris became secured in the possession of their ancestral lands.
The Britishes are now in Alizai's area in Helmand managing their operations against the people who obliged them to escape from Musa Qala for almost 15 months and after coordination of the world with much expenses they succeeded to capture a 100 square meters of the area along and living there facing much obstacles and waiting for signing an agreement with them but people are not ready because of their corporal and material losses.
population they bear little resemblance to the Waziris. They are an agricultural people whilst the Waziris are a pastoral race, and they are much richer than their neighbours. They thrive on a rich sedimentary soil copiously irrigated in the midst of a country where cultivable land of any kind is scarce and water in general hardly to be obtained.
