Dheri-Talokar (Jagir)   This branch/clan of the Tarin tribe came from Tarin Kot in Qandahar, to their present location in Hazara, Pakistan in about 1632. They were led by Sardar Bostan Khan, who, at that time was engaged in the defence of the city of Qandahar, which was taken by the Safavid Persians. Bostan Khan fought bravely but had to eventually escape with his family and a small group of loyal tribal followers, to Pishin (now in Baluchistan province of modern Pakistan but back then, was part of the Mughal Empire) where he sought refuge with some other local Tarins. His bravery was recognised by the Mughal Emperor and he was given the honorary title of 'Sher Khan' and lands were thereafter conferred on him in the Hazara region, where he was also given the additional charge of defending the inhabitants of the Hazara plains from marauding Afghan/Pathan gangs from across the River Indus. He settled there with his family members and a small number of around 200 or 300 followers. Over time, the family gained considerable renown. Later in 1761, Sardar Bahadur Khan II, who was the uncle (by marriage) of King Ahmad Shah Durrani, led a flank of Afghan cavalry (Risalah) in the Third Battle of Panipat in 1761, in which the Marathas were defeated comprehensively. Afterwards, another chief, Sardar Najibullah Khan, ruled with great wisdom from 1776 to 1799. In 1888, after the death of Nawab Bahadur Sadar Muhammad Habib Khan Tarin, Risaldar and Chief of Dheri and Talokar, the Tarin Sardari was formally abolished by Punjab Government, due to the unreliability of competing heirs. By a decision of the ruling government in April 1889, Dheri and Talokar jagir was split up, with Talokar (also refered to as Talokar Khangi Jagir) given to the family head as well as some additional land and shares in a further eight or nine villages, the sons of Habib Khan were placed under Court of Wards by the government and in due course, inherited this jagir. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, much of the family's property was forcibly seized during successive land reforms in the 1960's and 1970's. The family today is noted for its very active public and social traditions which were set in place by Khan Abdel Salim Khan, and continued by his descendants. The Area used to be comprises of 62.2 Km2.   TARIN or TOR BATEZAI (Afghan) (title: Chief of Hazara Tarins, Khan of Dheri and Rais of Talokar) Sardar Bostan Khan Sher Khan He was the Sardar of Tor Tarin.

In February 1852, Sir Henry Lawrence the Punjab Resident visited the Hazara, and it was through Napier’s intercession that Habib Khan and a number of other chiefs were able to obtain a general amnesty and return to their homes and resume their estates. His selection as Chief was ratified by Sir Henry Lawrence.
