Review: Cheegha The Call from Waziristan

Cheegha The Call from Waziristan is a book about Waziristan agency and its people written by Ghulam Qadir Khan Daur, Cheegha The Call from Waziristan free pdf is available at Peshawar Library, the No.1 Virtual Library of free pdf books.
Waziristan has always had a special place in history. Its formidable tribes - the Wazir and the Mahsud - and its striking geographical features have added to its mystique. Waziristan is divided into North Waziristan Agency and South Waziristan
Agency. Waziristan itself is named after the Wazir tribe, which is the most populous in the region. This was the area famous in history for having challenged every empire that attempted to control it - whether the Mughals or the British. At one stage during
the British Raj, there were as many troops in Waziristan as the rest of the British Indian Empire. Between the two world wars in a classic ambush still referred to in military manuals, the Mahsud wiped out an entire British brigade.
Ghulam Qadir Khan, who is a wazir, sets out to show us the true face of Waziristan. He takes us to the heart of this society. We meet his family and those living in his village Darpa Khel in North Waziristan Agency. We become familiar with individuals. We meet and fall in love with members of his family, like his venerable father. We hear charming stories of family life. “My family is ordinary and wonderful,” the author tells us, “and we are doing our best to be men like our fathers, to live with honor and pride. It's not only the immediate family that is loving and caring but even uncles and aunts are as good and when it comes to owning and protecting, especially the weak, the whole Khel becomes one big family.”
