The Khogyani District is in eastern Nangarhar province of Afghanistan, near the city of Jalalabad and the Kōh-i-Safēd (White mountain range).
[citation needed] A mountain people, Khogianis were often embroiled in wars against the Shinwari and the Ghilzai tribes.
The first Khogyani tribal head was Malik Shahpal, who was invited to attend the royal court by Emperor Humayun.
When Multan was annexed with Afghanistan, Nawab Ali Mohammad Khan Khakwani was appointed as governor.
Later, the Khogyani paid taxes to the central government in Kabul and remained the Nawabs for an extended period of time.
[vague] Hazrat Chopan Khan Khogiani was a famous saint and his shrine is located in Ghazni.
