Here I am posting the very first photo of my most favourite place on God's earth, my sweet village Kheshki Payan. This is the place I was borought up in. My ancestors lived here, and I went to school. Due to the nature of my job I stay away from my country, but the sweet memories of my childhood & youth spent in this village always remain in my eyes and mind. For those interested in history here is a brief account of the history of this village snd its people.
Kheshki is the name of a tribe which has brotherly relations with Muhammad Zee. Like other tribals, this tribe has also migrated from Ghwara Marghai (Afghanistan) and started living in the present locality in 1515. One big portion of this tribe migrated to the north west of Afghanistan and started living in Darrah Ghorband. Its third big portion went to Qasoor(west Punjab) and started living there in 1526.Then from there some of its branches went to Khorjah(India). and lived there. Apart from this, some people of this tribe went to Tanda and Hero Daal and some of them did migrate to Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Lakki Marwat, Bahawal Poor, Multan and started living there. Some people of this tribe are also living in Ghinta Ghar (PESHAWAR) which is known by "Mahallah Kheshki". Apart from these areas some families of this tribe live in Charsadda Khas and some families live in Hazarah also. Kheshki Tribe has produced great Generals and Ahle Qalam.Mehmood Khan Kheshki and Shah Nazar Khan Kheshki were the great and popular generals of Mughal army. In Ahle Qalam Arzani Kheshki was the great poet of Pushto history. He is the first ever poet in Pushto history having a Deewan of his own about Pushto poetry. Abdullah Khan Kheshki was also a famous Aalim and Mohaqqiq. This tribe has also produced some famous Awliya-e-Karam who are more than 50 in number. The most famous of them are Haji Gagan Shoryani Kheshki, Sheikh Wato Kheshki, Sheikh Ahmad Atozee Kheshki, Mian Channo Kheshki and Arzani Zerzee Kheshki.

Although most Pukhtoons and their different families are living in some specific and famous places of their own, but they are also living in such places where there is no specific difference regarding their village and family, means that they are living with others without specific difference. Same is the case with Kheshki Pukhtoons, who in addition to their specific cities and villages where they have a specific identity and famous name and majority, are also living in such places where they are living with other nations and families in their cities and villages .
Here we are going to mention those famous places where these people are living at present.

After some disputes with Alagh baig in (1490-1485)when Yousuf Zee came down from Khyber,Dallazak gave them, the area of Dowawa due to sympathey with them . At that time Dallazak were living in the areas from Bajwar to Mradan and Sawabi. Also to the south of River Kabul ,this area was in the control of them. But the lands of Ashnaghar were in the ownership of the Jahangiri Kings of swat. The capital of the area was Mangloria. The last King of this family was king Sultan Awais. The lands of Ashnaghar were in the fenancy of same farmers whose owners were there King. When yousuf Zee came to Dowawa,they asked more land from Dallazak.They were given the land up to Bajawar of Danishkol and Auber. Adter some time Yousuf Zee also snatched Ashnaghar from the tenants of the Kings of Swat by force.And thus slouly they took the areas of Mardan, Sawabi, swat and Dir from Dallazaks the last battle between yousuf Zee and Dallazak was faught at Katlang. In this battle Dallazaks were badlt defeated. Those who remaind lined at the other side of Abaseen in Hazara, while some of them remained in Dowawa.The battle of Katlang destroyed Dallazaks as a nation.In this battle of Katlang; Mohammad Zee,Kheshki, Googyani and Utman Khel also faught against Dallazak, in favour of Yousuf Zee

Allah Bakhsh Yousufi writes:

"Acording to some thoughts up to 1010 Yousuf Zee had taken control of district Mardan,Dir and Swat.

Due to their support, Mohammad Zee were make lived in Hashtangar,Googyani and Utman Khel in Doaba and Kheshkis in Nowshera.

When Kheshkis came down with Muhammad Zee and took control of Ashnaghar with yousuf Zee,and tey started their life here.Two three miles to the north-west of Charsadd-e-Khas and built a vilage by the name of Kheshgi Darra.And when they got this present area(village)due to the distribution by Sheikh Malli (1525-30),they came here and stsarted living on the bank of river Kabul in two villages.The present Kheshki is divided in to two parts,Kheshki Bala and Kheshki Payan. According to the distribution and partition of 1877 both the villages are divided in accordance with the lands and Khels in to eight,eight Khels and Tals.
