 The Afghans joined the Gakkhars who held the country between the Indus and the Jhelum rivers and compelled the Lahore rulers to cede to them the hill country west of the Indus and south of the Kabul River.The Yousafzai conquered much of what was called Samah, in the olden days, from the Dilazak.After Yousafzai Afghans, the next major tribe was the Khattaks, who settled here in the 15th century, in the time of their great chieftain, Malik Ako, who moved the capital of the Khattak Tribe from Teri (a village in Karak District) to Sarai Akora, the town which Akoray founded and built.
