QAMBRANI Qambrani or Qambarani or Kumbrani And Mir ammen Qambrani is a Baloch tribe in Balochistan and Sindh provinces of Pakistan. There are two available references which point that Kambarani founded the Khans Kambarani being rulers of Khnat Kalat. The Khans of Kalat were founded by a Brahui hill chieftain named Kumbar or Kambur. His tribe was hired by Sehwa, the Raja of Kalat, a Hindu princely state, to protect against marauding tribes from the Multan, Shikarpur and Upper Sind areas.Kumbar and his troops successfully repressed the incursion, but afterward, they deposed the raja and Kumbar became the first Vali. The great emigration of Baloc race left the central body which began to be known as Brahois, in a comparatively strong position, and the Kambarani chief gradually rose to prominence. In the middle of 17th century, his son Mir Ahmad Khan with the help of Raisani tribe descended the Bolan and took Dhadar from Barozai Afghans of Sibi. After Kumbar, his son Mir Ahmad I became his successor as the Khan of Kalat. Mir Ahmad’s offspring were called as Ahmadzai. Rest of the ancestor are referred as Kambarani or Qambarani. Basically, the Qambrani is a Brahui speaking tribe of Balochistan. They are one of the notable tribes of Kalat state. The population of this tribe is scattered, living in Balochistan and Sindh. The majority of the tribe is distributed in Kharan, Mastung, Kalat, Khuzdar, Quetta and Sakran (Lasbella district). They are said to be the most reliable tribe and had a distinguished status in the kingdom by the Khans of Kalat. It might be a reason that they were settled on the borders of Balochistan to protect Baloch kingdom. There are various sub tribes in Balochistan and Sindh also called as Qambrani. As Qamber or Kambar is a common Balochi and Sindhi name, the ancestors of Qamber named nobles of other tribes were also called as Qambrani. For example, there is a Qambrani sub tribe in Marri Baloch tribe and other tribes in Sindh such as The Qambrani are a clan of Chandio tribe.
