Bannu district of khyber Pakhtunkhawa province of Pakistan
Short brief history of Bannu district of KPK province of Pakistan
Bannu is a district of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa province of Pakistan.
The Bannnuchis originally lived in the Shawal area, which lies partly in the present-day North Waziristan tribal agency of Pakistan and partly in the Paktika of Afghanista. The Bannuchi, as well as their cousin tribe the Dawars descend from the Shitak supertribe who were settled in Shawal. In the 14th century, the Wazirtribe of pashtuns, who were living in Birmal in the west, migrated
eastwards to the Shawal area and fell into dispute with the Shitaks
(Bannuchis and Dawars), and succeeded to oust the Shitaks northeastwards
towards the land between the Tochi and Kurram rivers. Eventually, the Bannuchi Shitaks migrated to the Bannu district, where the Pashtun tribes of the Mangle and the Honai, as well as the Khattak
were already settled. The Bannuchis first defeated and drove away the
Mangals and the Honais, then gradually pushed the Khattaks northwards to Kohat and Karak, and eventually captured and settled in Bannu District.
After the annexation of Punjab (then including the NWFP), the valley was administered by Herbert Edwardes. As a result of his administration, the region became a source of strong support during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Although the valley itself was peaceful, it was subject to incursions from the Waziri Tribes of the Tochi Valley and the neighbouring hills. The primary export of the region was weat, salt and alum were also quarried at Kalabagh.
The modern district of Bannu was originally a tehsil of the old Bannu district of British India,
in the Derajat Division of the North-West Frontier Province. The
capital Bannu in the north-western corner of the district was the
British base for expeditions to the Tochi Valley and the Waziristan frontier. A military road led from Bannu town toward Dera Ismail Khan.
