History:

Marghuz is the land confiscated by the invading Afghan Yousafzais under dubious circumstances that forced the indigenous Dalazaks and Tanolis into exile in India/elsewhere or accepting the supremacy of the rogue and illiterate Afghans. The tragedy still continues and the aboriginal real Pashtoons are treated as Kasabgars or cheap labor to exploit. The same is true for the villages in the entire regions. Most of the elite of the village include people whose ancestors at one point either betrayed the local people when the Moguls were in power or more recently when the British needed their ill designs. As far as the clergy (Mullahs) are concerned, they simply became the tool of the invading savages (just like what one would expect) and made everything Halal in order to make their dreams come true.(Source ??)
