Khudiadadzai

The Khudiadadzai are a Pushtun tribe of the Kakar Sunzerkel (Sanzarkhel) tribe from Balochistan, a region divided between Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. It consists of many sub-tribes, including Mirdadzai, Rahatzai, Paizai, and Baigzai.

The people of Khudiadzai live in Nasai, Muslim Bagh, Chinjan, Pishin, Loralai, Duki, and other places. The main caste (Mirdadzai) house is in Killa Saifullah, where the Saifullah Khan Khudiadadzai Family is settled. The remnants of Saifullah Khan Khudiadazai are still in Killa Saifullah.

The Khudiadadzai people fought bravely against the British during the Indian independence movement. In this regard, Saifullah Khan ("The Great Warrior") was a recognized personality in fighting against the British army at that time.
