-Tikrai is a beautiful valley inhabited by very friendly people. [[Malkal]] or Malkaal is the biggest tribe in Tikri in terms of land and number, the caste name is derived from the merger of two words i.e. Malik + Aal, which means Sons of the King or Chieftain referring to Malik Baba.

-The other tribes of the valley are [[Naror]] and [[Ashror]], named after the nicknames of Malik Baba's younger brothers. The fourth tribe or clan of the area is the [[Syeds]] of [[Pirari]], or Pirarai and some of the adjacent villages. These Syeds are called [[Saidaan]] by the locals. The other three tribes have always had a great respect for the Syeds. During the older, tribal era, Syeds would mediate between two warring tribes. They would emerge on the battlefields with "white flags" raised in their hands and every tribesman, regardless of is association with any clan or tribe, would stop fighting immediately due to the respect he had for [[Syeds]], the clan of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
