Tribals with their own weapons, and significant clan size were preferred for specific assignments, and awarded with the socially prestigious title of 'Malak'. The Malaks would in turn recruit full time 'Khasadars', a para military force considered loyal to the Crown, and had access to several Government entitlements, besides a financial stipend.
