The Chaks suffered sectarian divisions with the main Sunni segment of the tribe led by Regi Chak and Shams Chak, and Nurbakhshiya Sufis, that some have described as an offshoot of Shiism. The Chaks were recent converts to Islam during this period and maintained names such as Shankar, Pandu, Lankar, etc. While smaller in number, the Nurbakshiya Sufi Chaks included the leaning of Ghazi Shah Chak, Ali Shah Chak, and the Yousuf Shah Chak. They were formidable and ferocious fighters of huge structure and soundly defeated the great Mughal Emperor Akbar twice and that too with a much smaller army.
