The Kakazai (see spelling variants below) are a Pashtun (aka Pathan) tribe originally from the Laghman province of Afghanistan.

They came to South Asia during Afghan invasions such as those of Mahmud of Ghazni, settling in various regions.

A major Kakazai group from Gurdaspur, East Punjab settled in twelve villages, including Babal Chak, Faizullah Chak, Sut Kohiah (Satkoha), and Wazir Chak, near Dhariwal [1]. At the partition of India in August 1947, having been initially told they (being Muslim) would be in Pakistan, they were caught up in the ensuing violence and the survivors displaced when their area became part of India.

Today, the majority of the Kakazai reside in Pakistan and Afghanistan, in the areas of Dara Kakazai (Valley of Watlai), Bajaur Agency, Lahore, Sialkot,samundri dist faisalabad) Dera Ghazi Khan, Quetta, Karachi, Kashmir, Jehlum, Bhalwal, Sargodha, Chakwal, Isa Khel, Musa Khel, and Kakazai (Pishin, Baluchistan). Consequently, they do not exclusively speak Pashto, but may speak other languages indigenous to Pakistan such as Punjabi, Siraiki, and Balochi.

"Malik" is a common given name or surname among Kakazai Pashtuns.

Notable Kakazai Pashtuns include Nawab Bahadur Yar Jang, Abdullah Malik and the historian Khan Roshan Khan.

The name "Kakazai" means "offspring/children/sons of little/younger boy" (in Pashto, Kakay or Kaka = younger/little boy, Zai = offspring/children/sons of, a root also used in Yousafzai). Spelling variants include: Kakezai, Kakay Zai, Kakayzai, Kakeyzai, Kaka Zai and Kakkayzai.
