Bajaur (Urdu: باجوڑ)
is an Agency (district) of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of
Pakistan. Its location on the Pakistan-Afghan border makes it important
strategically. It has two subdivisions, Nawagai and Khar. In the near
past, the Nawab of Khar Bajaur used to run this strategic border area
nearly autonomously. Remnants of the Nawabi system still exist, and the
Nawab family is represented by Nawabzada Dawood Khan (Tehsil Khan), Shams-ul-Wahab
Khan (Paccha Khan) and their sons.
