An introduction to ilaqa Chach

Chach, also spelled as Chhachh, is an area located in the North Western part of Pakistan which occupies parts of South West Hazara in NWFP (Sahrad) and the Northern section of Attock district on the border of the Punjab. It is made up of about 82 villages and a few small towns including Ghazi and Hazro.

The area of Chach is a is a beautiful plain famed for its natural beauty and fertile soils. The Chach plain is surrounded on three sides by mountains and on one side by the mighty river Indus. The plain rolls from the Hazara-Gandhara hills (Gandaghar mountains) to Kamra and from the river Indus to the broken lands near Lawrencepur.

Chach is home to large groups of Pathans who are decendants from the tribes of Jadoon, Tareen, Kakhar and others. Other ethnic groups such as Awan, Kashmiri, Sayyid, Gujjar and Mughal are also found in the Chach area. Around 50% of Chachis still speak Pashto as their main language however in the last 100 years Hindko has established itself as the languge in the area.

The Pathans have had a significant association with the area of Chach since 1000 A.D when they arrived there as part of the all conquering army of Mahmud of Ghazni who gained control of the area form Hindu rulers. The Pathans were so captivated by the beauty of the area that they decided to make it their permanent home.
