Wazirzada
Template:Short description Template:Refimprove
Wazirzada (meaning son of Wazir) are descendants of the Grand Wazirs of the Sadduzai dynasty in Afghanistan. Wazirzadas are a branch of the Sadozai Durranis; which itself a sub tribe of Popalzais and therefore the Wazirzadas belong to the Abdali or Durrani group of Pashtun tribes.[1]
After the expulsion of the Saddozais from the collapsing Durrani Empire and subsequent replacement by the Barakzai, the Saddozais, including the branch of the Wazirzadas faced prospects of political reprisal by the Barazkai and Mohammadzai. Most of the Saddozais faced exile from the Emirate of Afghanistan, with the Wazirzadas landing and settling in the territories of modern day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.[2][3]
