The Raisani are the most influential among the TAREEN tribes, their Chief being the head of the Sarawan division of the TAREEN confederacy. TIPU SULTAN was the great empiror of TOR TAREEN tribe.

The principal sections into which the tribe is divided are the Sirajzai, Rustamzai, Sahizai, Ráhusainzai, Isiániand. With the exception of the Sardar Khéls, who live at Mithri in Kachi.

Their progenitor named Rais (Arabic for ruler) had five sons, Siraj, Rustam, Ráhusain, Siáhi and Issa. From all the five names the sections are mentioned above.

The Raisani appear to have been in the country before the Brahuis rose to power in the 15th century, and according to tradition assisted the latter in conjunction with the Dehwars to conquer Kalat from the Baloch. The tribe appears first to have acquired land in Mungachar and Chappar and were afterwards granted revenue-free grants in Kahnak and Dulái.

By their close conjunction with the latter, the Raisani have always held a dominant position in the Brahui confederacy, and the Sirajzai, the section of the Chief, have been conspicuous for the part they have played in Kalat history.
