her Shah Suri and Kakar

Sher Shah Suri or Sher Khan's real name was Farid Khan. His father's name was Hassan Khan and his grandfather's name was Ibrahim Khan Suri. Ibrahim was a middle-class and common man of Rowa (an independent land of Afghans which included the territories of Hasan Abdal, Kabul, Peshawar, Herat, Kandahar and Koh-e-Sulaiman), and belonged to the sub-tribe Barakzai of KakarFact|date=September 2008. Barakzai is a sub-tribe of Taraghzai, son of Kakar. According to Sir Olaf Caroe, author of the book "The Pathans", Sher Shah was born in Sasaram in (Bihar) in 1479 CE, where his father was a landlord and a respected ally of the Mughal Empire. The real homeland of Sher Shah was likely located between Qaisi Ghar and Koh-e-Sulaiman, near the Kozhak range.

Kalkar Najin, in his book "Sher Shah and His Times", asserts that this place is between Chaman and Ghazni and that it is Sargergai Toba Kakar(Toba Kakar Ranges), sargergai is center of Taraghzai area, where the Kakar tribe has been living for centuries. Sir Olaf claims that when Sher Shah was young, he hunted and killed a lion (likely a Bengal tiger) by his own sword—and since the lion is called "Sher" in the local languages, the people of the area began to call him "Sher Khan". Sher Shah's hunting of the lion using a sword is similar to the story of David.
