The Kakakhel are Sayyid (also spelled as Syed). Their traditional homeland is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa along with other cities of Pakistan. They were a very small clan until the 13th century. [1] They descend from Sayyid Kastir Gul, also known as "Kaka Sahib". [2] He was from the lineage of Imam Jafar Sadiq, a grandson of Husayn ibn Ali. [3]
