The Kundi (Template:Lang-ps; Template:Lang-ur) is a sub-tribe of the Niazi tribe of Pashtuns, that inhabit most areas of Tank and D.I.Khan.

Background

The Kundi are a sub-tribe of Niazi, living mostly in Di khan, Mianwali, Waziristan. In Tank, they are spread along through the Tank-Pezu road, extending up to Mulazai to the adjoining Bhittani area. The Mulazai is approachable through a road, which begins at old Gul Imam railway station. The area around this road is mainly inhabited by Kundis, with perhaps a little pocket of Marwats. There is another circular road recently constructed which begins at a Daraki (Maikhani) police station on Tank- Pezu road, bypassing the Daraki village, Pai village and joins the Gul Imam-Mulazai road at Ama Khel.

The Kundi area acts as a buffer zone between Tank and Marwats connected through Pezu and Bayan pass. These were the old caravan routes that the British were first to construct asphalt roads on. The main villages of Kundis in Tank are Gul Imam, Shahalam, Abezari, Daraki (Maikhani), Pai, Nandoor (chief of nandoor (Malik misal khan late) and Amakhel. Mulazai is a perhaps mixture of kundi and Syeds from Kaniguram and Marwats in some parts.

Pai‚ Abizari and Shahalam are the ancestral home villages of Kundi KHANS. Kundis populate the majority of the Tank District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan, some areas in D.I.Khan, some parts of Afghanistan (Zabul), some of the parts in Balochistan and the ancestors of this tribe are basically from Zabul (Afghanistan) and KUNDIGHAR( kundayghar ) in South Waziristan Agency.

A good number of Kundis have rendered their services in the fields of education, politics, civil services, judiciary research, etc. in Pakistan. This tribe fought many wars against the Nawabs of Tank in late 1800s, they won some wars and were defeated in others. Moreover, this tribe is always involved in internal conflicts as other Pashtun tribes are involved.
