DAMANI—
In point of numbers the strongest tribe inhabiting Sarhad. They are
a pastoral Baluch tribe possessing marked predatory habits and closelv
allied in appearance,, manners and customs to the Marris of Baluchistan
with whom they claim affinity. The Damani acknowledge as chief one
JMjr Jahind Khan, Yar Muhammadzai, and they are divided into the
e^ght followmg sections, viz., the Yar Muhammadzai, the Rahmanzai
the Mir Begzai, the Sohrabzai, the Surizai, the Mir Gulzai, the Hussain-
za! and the Umarzai. Tribal tradition has it that, many generations ago,
a oranch of the Marris left the parent stock and settled in the highlands
^ dose resemblance which that country bears
to the land of their birth. In course of time the branch which took root
v ad | ra f Uc '\ ,1 y extended its authority until most of the petty clans
inhabiting Sarhad came under its sway, with the result that eventually
all combined to form one tribe which became known amongst their
neighbours as Damanis, viz., dwellers on the mountain slopes.
