Background
Trag is one of the biggest villages of Tehsil Isa Khel (Tarna, an old name) of District Mianwali. Trag came into being in between 1660-1685. It is populated by one of the significant clans hailing from Niazi Pathans. The people are Afghan in origin and travelled into Hindustan along with their tribe, the Niazis. Their entry route was Wana----Tank----Dera Ismail Khan and Paniala/Kundal. They finally settled at the present location of the village.
Trag is named after its notable elder, literally meaning an “Iron Helmet”. He was reputedly an adventurous and brave combatant. He was famous for his ever readiness, most of the times seen in combat outfit. Hence, he came to be known as "Trag". His real name could not be traced.

From Beko are Ibraheem Khel, Umar Khel, Rajay Khel and Jalander Khel. From Ako are Akwals. From Khero Rasheeday Khel, Ranjhay Khel, Budhay Khel and Guriya.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
