History
During Mughal rule, Waziristan was a part of the Mughal Empire, and once Bahadur Shah, son of Aurangzeb personally visited this place and received the tribute from the Wazirs and Daurs. After the fall of Mughal Empire, the emerging Sikh Empire and their Khalsa Army could not extend their sway up to Waziristan. Their short rule in this area was confined to sporadic forages. Both tribes, Wazirs and Daurs, accepted the influence of the Mughal and Durrani Kings, who counted on them as a solid army, always in readiness to help them in emergencies.
