Orakzae (Wukukzae). a people of Afghanistan, Tira district, N. and W. of Kohat; they claim to be a section of the Karani Pathans, but are not recognised as true Afghans, nor does the name occur in the national genealogies, though they are now assimilated to the Karflni fn speech, physique, and many customs. Four main divisions - Daolat, Isnmail, Lashkar and Harasaya - with about sixty subdivisions. The Orakzae are naturally a turbulent people, but were reduced to order by the British expedition of 1891 under Sir W. Lockhart.
