The celebrated Yousafzai leader Gaju Khan (ګجو خان) at one point served under the banners of Sher Shah Sur (شیر شاه سور) In India. This information is provided by Tarikh-i-KhanJahani wa Makhzan-i-Afghani (تاریخ خان جہانی و مخزن افغانی) as follow.
"Kara had one son, called Kaju (Gaju). The nation of the Yousafzais, which is said comprise nine hundred thousands spears, is entirely subject to his authority. He is said to have met Khwaja Khizr; and to have joined in the rebellion of the Emperor Sher Shah, in Hindustan".
According to Hayat-I-Afghani (published in 1867), when Gaju Khan became leader of his tribe, refused allegiance to Sher Shah Sur.
