The Tribe/Nationality
There are different denotations among the people about the tribe/nationality of kakasahib . Some say
that he was a "syed" . Some say he was a "khattak" , whereas some other say that he was "Seenay" but most of the people agreed upon that he was a "syed" by caste . References of some authentic books are given below for the attestation:-
- When the British came to NWFP in 1848 , they compiled the history and nationality of the people of this area . They titled the descendants of Kakasahib as "Syed" . (Shajara-e-Nasab , Ziarat Kakasahib, Official Gazette of Tehsil/district Nowshera-1870 , page 1-44)
- In a book "Tareekh-e-Peshawer" by A.G Heisting, 1880 , at page 323, it is mentioned that the descendants of Hazrat Kakasahib are "Syeds"and their forefathers hailed from Kabul.
- Syed Abdullah Shah Bukhari of Charsadda , in his book "Mujma-ul-Barakat" , 1285 , at page 4 , mentioned the Shajara-e-Nasab of Hazrat Kakasahib and proved him as "Syed".
- Maulana Ghulam Ahmad in his book "Manaqib-e-Kakasahib" 1908 , at page 14 mentioned the Shajara-e-Nasab of Hazrat Kakasahib.
- Shamsul Ulema Maulana Syed Mir Ahmed Shah Rizwani in his book "Tuhfat-ul-Awlia" , 1321 , at page 30 mentioned that Kakkasahib was a "Syed".
Misconceptions About Nationality:- The misconception about the nationality of Kakasahib is because of his hailing from the land of Khattaks but the fact is that the forefathers of Kakasahib were belonging to Arab . They left their homeland and traveled across Iraq , Iran , Turkistan (Bukhara) , and Afghanistan until they reached the province of K.P.K of Pakistan . Ghalib Gul Baba , the grand father of Kakasahib got settled in the area of khattaks , therefore , his offspring inhabited the same area but this does not mean that he belongs to a khattak tribe . For example Syed Jamal-ud-din Afghani , was a "Syed" by caste but inhabited Afghanistan for which he was called "Afghani".
