They are found in considerable numbers in all Seraiki districts. They dwell both in cities and villages. All though some are big landlords and occupy large areas through out Seraiki Wasaib. But they no longer hold compact territories exclusively as their own. They have lost their language and speak Seraiki as a native language, they have been settled and assimilated in Seraiki culture and has little to do with Baloch tribes of Balochistan. Balochs of Seraiki wasaib can hardly be distinguished from other people of Seraiki Wasaib. One would not know about their caste unless revealed by themselves. These Balochs own no allegiance to any tribal Chief, are altogether external to political organization of the tribes of Baluchistan and don’t hold any dominant position among their neighbors which is enjoyed by the organized tribes of Dera Ghazi Khan. However Baloch tribes residing in Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur and Rojhan still have lot of Baloch traditions and some of them still speak Balochi language Balochs Of Dera Ismail Khan, Bhakkar, Layyah The Balochs started settling in Seraiki wasaib about the middle of 15th century. Prior to this they had spread as north as the Bolan, but had not yet encroached upon the Suleman range which lay east to them and which was held by the Pathans, while a Jat population occupied the valley of Indus and the country between the Suleman and the river. The area was called Makalwad but later on this term went out of usage and Daman was used which still is used for this area. By the middle of 15th century the Brahoi, a tribe believed to be of Dravidian origin, drove the Balochs out of the fertile valley of Kelat and established supremacy over their northern tribes. These Baloch tribes moved east ward into lower Sulemans driving the Pathans before them along the range. Many of these latter took service with the Langah rulers of Multan and were granted lands along the river. About 1480 A.D Ismail Khan and Fateh Khan two sons of Malik Sohrab Khan and Ghazi Khan son of Haji Khan all Dodais of Rind extraction founded three Deras, Namely Dera Ghazi Khan, Dera Ismail Khan and Dera Fatah Khan. The tribal name of Dodai disappeared, because leaders were of different tribe from their followers, the representatives and tribesmen of Ghazi Khan were locally called Mihrani, those of Ismail Khan as Hot and those of Fatah Khan as Kulachi. With Ghazi Khan came the Jiskani Balochs, who occupied Cis-Indus tract above Bakkar, while with Hots came Korai. At the zenith of their power the Hot, Korai, Mirani, and Jiskani held sway over almost the whole Damaan and Thal. During the later half of 16th century Daud Khan a Jiskani and descendants of one Ghazi Khan Followers moved southwards and captured the greater part of Layyah. Emperor Akbar dispersed his tribe, but early in 17th century the independence of the Jiskani under Baloch Khan was recognized and it is from Baloch Khan that the Jiskani, Mandrani, Mamdani, Sargani, Kandani and Muliani, who still live in Bhakkar and Layyah Districts, trace their descent. In about 1750-1770 A.D Mihrani (people of Ghazi Khan) who sided with the Kalhoras or Sarais of Sindh in their struggle against Ahmed Shah Durrani, were driven out of Dera Ghazi Khan by Jiskani. (About the same time the Hots were over thrown after a desperate struggle by the Gandapur Pathans The Balochs of Dera Ismail Khan are scattered through out the Districts and its tehsils of Paharpur, Kulachi and Darabun, they don’t have any political or administrative unity the tribal tie is merely that of common descent and these tribes possess no corporate coherence. None of these tribes speaks Balochi language nor has any life style similarity with Baloch tribes of Balochistan. The Baloch tribes of Layyah, Bhakkar and Dera Ismail Khan have been absorbed in local culture; they intermingle and intermarry with Jats and other castes. The principal Baloch tribes of Dera Ismail Khan, Layyah and Bhakkar are Lashari, Kulachi and Jiskani, after them come the Rind, the Laghari, the Jatoi, the Korai, the Chandia, the Hot, the Gurmani, the Petafi, the Gashkori and the Mirani. The Petafis are found only in Dera Ismail Khan, they are confined to Parao area and the principal village in which they are in majority is Hazara. (The most Balochs in Layyah and Bhakkar as Jiskan, Mamdanis are Rind) Organized Baloch Tribes of Dera Ghazi Khan, Rojhan and Rajanpur Region The Balochs of Dera Ghazi Khan, Rohjan and Rajanpur region are the only Seraiki Balochs which have retained distinct tribal and political organization. The Dera Ghazi Khan tribes are in the main of Rind origin. They include, beginning from south Mazari, Drishak, Gurchani, Tibbi Lund, Laghari, Khetran, Khosa, Sori Lund, Bozdar, Qasarani and Nutkani. Mazaris: – The Mazaris are practically found only in Rajanpur. This city is the Capital Seat of the Mazari Baloch tribe who has held this territory since 1632 A.D. Prior to this the Mazari Tribe was settled in the Bambhore Hills of present day Kahan in Balochistan. The original city of Rojhan, situated a few kilometers from the present city, was burnt by the Sikh invaders under the command of Raja Kharak Singh. The Present City was constructed during the reign of the famous Mazari Chief, Nawab Sir Imam Buksh Khan Mazari during the early and middle part of the 1800s. The word ‘rojhan’ traces its roots back to the ancient Babalonyian and Caspatic languages of the Indo-European language family, meaning the ‘City of Tents’. The City is a site to many ancient yet beautiful tombs of the Mazari Nawabs and Sardars dating as back as the 17th Century. The Drishak:- They came down to land towards The Drishaks are the most scattered of all the Dera Ghazi Khan their villages are surrounded by villages of Jats and other indigenous people. They own no portion of the hills and are practically confined to Dera Ghazi Khan District. Its principal sections are Kirmani, Mingwani, Gulfaz, Sargani, and. Arbani The Gurchani: – They own Mari and Darugal Hills, They are divided into Eleven Clans, of which chief are the Durkani, Shekhani, Lashari, Petafi, Jiskani, and Sibzani The Tibbi Lund: – They are confined to Dera Ghazi Khan district, where they occupy small area in the midst of Gurchani country. The Laghari: – The Leghari Baloch tribe is one of the largest of Baloch tribes. The Leghari baloch are pure “Rind Baloch”. They are divided into four clans, the Haddiani, Aliani, Bughlani and Haibatani. Their headquarters are at Choti Zerin, where they are said to have settled after their return from accompanying with Hamayun, expelling the Ahmadanis who then held the present Laghari country. The Legharis are also found in Dera Ismail Khan and Muzaffargarh but don’t owe alligeance to the tribe. The Talpur dynasty of Sindh belonged to this tribe and there still is a considerable population of Laghari tribe in Sindh. The Khetran: – The Khetran hold territory on the back of Laghari, Khosa and Lund country. Their original settlemet was at Vahoa, where many of them still live and hold land between the Qasarani and the River. Khetrans are certainly not pure Baloch, and held by many to be Pathans, descended from Miana, brother of Tarin. Where as other think them to be a remunant of the original Jat population all of them speak Seraiki. However they confessdly resemble the Balochs in features, habits and general appearance, the name of their septs end in the Baloch patronymie termination “dni”. They are the least warlike of all the Baloch tribes of this region, capital cultivatorsa and in consequence exceedingly wealthy. The Khosas: – Major Pullock “It is rare to find a Khosa who has not been in prison for cattle-stealing or deserved to be and a Khosa who has not committed a murder or debauched his neighbor’s wife or destroyed his neighbor’s landmark is decidedly a creditable specimen”. They occupy the country between the Laghari and the Qasrani, their territory being divided into northern and southern portion by the territory of Lunds In Seraiki Wasaib, outside Dera Ghazi Khan they are found in Bahawalpur. They hold extensive lands in Sindh, which were granted to them by Empror Humayun for military service. Khosas are admitted to be among the bravest of the Balochs. They are true Rind and are divided into six clans, namely Babelani, Isani, Jaggel, Jaudani, Jarwar and Mahrwani. The Sori Lund: – This is a small tribe. Their territory divides that of Khosas into to two parts and extends to the bank of River Indus. They are not pure Baloches and are divided into five clans the Hadarani, Bakrani, Zariana, Garzwani, Nuhani. The Buzdars: – These live in scattered villages about Rajanpur and among Laghari tribe. The Buzdars are of Rind extraction and are divided into Dulani, Ghulamani, Chakrani, Sihani, Shahwani, Jalalani and Rustamani clan. The Qasarani: – They are settled on the territory lying on either side of the boundary between Dera Ismail Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan. The tribe is poor one and is divided into seven clans the Lashkarani, Khubdin, Budhani, Vaswani, Jarwar and Rustamani. They are of Rind origin and found in Seraiki wasaib in the area mentioned above The Nutkani: – This is tribe peculiar to Dera Ghazi Khan; it holds a territory stretching east ward to the Indus and between the Northern Khosa and the Qasrani. This tribe was brutally crushed out of tribal existence in early days of Ranjit Singh’s rule. Other Less Important Baloch Tribes of Dera Ghazi Khan Include Gopang, Lashari, Gurmani, Mastoi, Hahani, Sanjraniand Ahmadani. These all lie scattered along the edge of the Indus and spoeak Seraiki and have been completely assimilated to Seraiki culture. Balochs of Multan and Muzaffargarh Region Like Balochs of Dera Ismail Khan, Bakhar and Layyah, Balochs in Multan and Muzzafargarh have adopted the local culture and language and have lost their Baloch habits and characteristics long ago. The reason doubtless is that this is the centre of Seraiki power and assimilating forces here are more potent then any where else. The important Baloch tribes of this region are the Gopang, the Chandia, the Rind, the Jatoi, the Korai, the Laghari, Lashari, and the Hot, the Chandias, the Khosas and the Dasti. Balochs of Bahawalpur, Rahimyarkhan and Sadiqabad Region Balochs of Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan and Sadiqabad have been assimilated to Seraiki culture by all means and show now resemblance with Balochs. These tribes include Gopang, the Chandias, the Khosas, the Dasti, the Lashari, the Laghari, the Jataoi and the Mazari. The Gopnags are mostly found in Khanpur, Khosas in Allahabad and Rahimyar Khan. Dasti Balochs mostly live in Sadiqabad and Khanpur. The Jatois settled in Bahawalpur during the times of Nawab Bahawal Khan III. They showed lot of bravery during wars and thus Nawab gave away huge land to them in Uch. The Mazaris settled in Bahawalpur on the invitation of Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan IV and were given land and Sadiqabad. Laghari Baloch also came at the same time and received huge chunks of agricultural lands. Baloch Tribes of Ravi, Upper Jehlum and Chanab The Baloch tribes of the Ravi are found in bar of the Montgomery and Jhang districts. They used to breed camels here and held little land as cultivators. They consisted mostly of Jataoi and Rind. They probably are descendants of the men who under Mir Chakkar accompanied Humayun and received a grant of Land in Montgomery in return for their service. In Jhang and Sargodha districts on the Jehlum and the right bank of Chenab, the principal tribes to be found are the Rind, the Jataoi, the Lashari and the Korai. wasaib/seraiki-wasaib-baloch-tribes.html Categories: Saraiki CultureTags: Baloch Comments (81)Trackbacks (0)Leave a commentTrackback BALOCH May 21, 2010 at 4:12 pm | #1 Reply | Quote WHY U DIDN’T MENTION THE BHUTTA ?

We have had enough of your KAWALIS, which your racist PAPAS of Ganga Jamna of 9-0’s controlled Punjabi establishment have made each of you and your all traitors’ mafia (from you to Taj Mohammad Langa) cram…! Keeping in view your mafia’s hatred based poisonous poetry “ASA KAYDEE TAKHT LAHORE DAY”(against the teachings/message and deeds of Khawaja Gulam Fareed, Shah Hussain Lahori, Bab Fareed, Mian Mohammad Buksh, Bulla and other saints, based upon love and love only with the land of 5 rivers and its people), I asked you on numerous occasions in order to remove your mask, that who have been ruling on TAKHT-E-LAHORE & TAKHT-E-ISLAMABAD most of the time??? But instead of replying my straight forward question you all 5th columnists always attempted to divert the attentions of viewers/readers by commencing new illogical disputes based upon sheer lie, concocted & fabricated history…! Now once again without describing the major tribes (JATS, RAJPOOTS, BALOCHS) of Punjab living across the Punjab from South to center and up to upper Punjab; you deceitfully pointed out the sub-tribes of the earlier mentioned major tribes (JATS, RAJPOOTS, BALOCHS) and wrongly claimed that “…..khar , dasti , dareshak , maitla , laand , manhes, khichi , hosa , leghari , mazari , chandia (chandio in sindh) ,khuhawar, gabol , laang ,jatoi ,mailsi ,kia are the tribes can’t be found in central or upper Punjab….” Not to speak of the sub-tribes of Rajpoots and Jats like khars, khukawars, langs, maitlas, Manhes and Kichhis, even dasti, khosa, leghari, mazari, chandia, gabol, jatoi etc. are the sub-tribes of the major ethnic Baloch tribes, whom you implied towards…aren’t they…??? Besides the major tribes of Jats, Rajpoots and Balochs; many other major tribes like Gujar, Arain, Awan different ethnic Pathan tribes like Niazi, wardag are living permanently across the Punjab from south to central and central to upper Punjab and even beyond the natural geographical boundaries of Punjab and many of them live in Sindh and Pashtoonkwa(Indus valley) being the vital part of those Sindhi and Pashtoon nations…I would love to quote here some of the personalities like Waqar Younas, who is Matla jat from Burewala and his grandfather belonged to Sialkot, the sole lion of Punjab Malik Gulam Mustafa Khar’s family claims to be the relatives of Mirza Jat and Khawaja Noor Mohammad Mehrvi, Similarly Mukhtara Mai from Muzafargarh is a Gujar like (Mian Mohammad Buksh a Gujjar Punabi saint/poet) and who could deny that Gujars live across the Punjab, Molana Abduallah Darkhawasti an Arain from Rahim Yar Khan like Shah Inayat Arian, whom Bulla (Bullay Shah of Kasoor) claimed to be his spiritual father, Khawaj Khan Mohammad of Kundia Sharif (Mianwali) was a talukar Jat and Molana Obaidullah Sindh was an uppal Jat from Sialkot, and Mumtaz Baloch(Rind) a great Punjabi poet belongs to Sargodha and Talib Jatoi also one of great Punjabi poet from Sahiwal last but not least the great Chakar-e-Azam (a Baloch) is resting in peace in the district Okara and his whole present generation owns and speaks which language and culture…??? It is Punjabi…isn’t it??? If Taj Langa from Multan (contrary to the other Langas permanently living in Kasur, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Jhelum, Sargodha, Chinnot, Jhang) in spite being a Jat wants to be the part of some coined so-called Saraiki nation at the behest of racist Urdu speaking mafia’s controlled establishment in hope of some pennies, fame, power etc; but at the same time another Jat Nazeer Kahut from Sargodha is not ready to compromise over his principle stance of securing every inch of his mother land and promoting his mother tongue purely, voluntarily and passionately in order to seek linguistic/cultural, financial and political rights of not only Punjabis from Sadiqabad to Attock but also Sindhi, Pathan and Baloch brothers…! I haven’t mentioned all the same tribes and their sub-tribes living in the divided east Indian occupied Punjab just to avoid further lengthiness….Crux of the very simple matter is that any Baloch, Pashtoon, Arab, Turk etc ethnicity either settled in Sindh, Balochistan, Pashtoonkhwa or Punjab centuries ago and assimilated in the languages and cultures of the both lands of all the above four described regions, have turned the integral part of all Sindhi, Baloch, Pashtton and Punjabi nations according to the universally accepted/set principles…Similarly as many tribes across this federation or in other parts of world when migrated to some other regions and merged in the new regions having owned the lands’ language and culture, were/are called and accepted the integral part of that nation/land/region, where they decided to live and die…! Let me elaborate here that 5th columnist sort of stupid innocent looking 5th columnists know each and every truth very well even more than us, but like central and upper/northern Punjabis they are attempting to find their salvation in those un-natural coined “Saraiki, Pakistani or Potohari identities in order to get rid of nature’s blessed ‘Punjabi’ title, which have been turned into a stigma due to the ill deeds of the Punjabi establishment/ruling exploiters’ and criminal negligence of all Punjabi masses towards disowning their rich language and culture at the cost of aping an alien language Urdu…So because of the psychological reasons of fear every southern, central and upper Punjabi now want to vindicate from the disgraced Punjabi title, that’s why they desperately intend to get asylum in Saraikiat, Pakistaniat and Potohariat (rather the nature’s blessed genuine title ‘Punjabi’) in order to avoid the very right charges on all Punjabis by all nations (Bangalis, Pathans, Sindhis & Balochs) of this federation, which have been leveled against Punjabi masses due to their sheer criminal ignorance towards the cognizance of the notion of religion(Islam), disowning of nature’s blessed Punjabi language by aping an alien language(Urdu) and concept of nation(Pakistani)…Consequently the dishonest and greedy ‘Punjabi ruling mafia/establishment’ (politicians of south, civil bureaucracy of central and army of upper Punjab) in nexus with racist cunning hyenas of Ganga Jamna have been capitalizing from the situation and have been plundering, exploiting and ruling all the Punjabi, Pathan, Sindhi and Baloch nations on the misused name of religion, abstract Pakistani nation and holy declared title of Urdu since the emergence of this federation…Now the same nexus of evils using the fear of the psychos like Malik Saleem etc. in order to get another leverage to carry on financial & political exploitation of all the said 4 nations by abetting and supporting them to carve more and more pseudo-nations within the most vulnerable unit/region of this federation Punjab (as has been described, due to Punjabi masses unconcerned attitude towards their language, land and culture) either in the case of more and more divisions of only Punjab finally to get a pretty edge over other 3 Sindhi, Pashtoon and Baloch nations in the center/Islamabad by seeking more seats in senate for each divided unit on the basis/formula of parity eventually to fulfill their infinite ulterior motives (for instance the building of Kalabagh dam)…OR in other case after the divisions of Punjab they may divide all other 3 nations one by one ultimately to diffuse and subvert the genuine 4 nations(Sindhis, Pathans, Balochs and Punjabis) struggle for their fundamental right having created a conundrum sort of situation for an ordinary person(particularly among goofy Punjabi masses vis-à-vis the theory of nation by fueling the already projected misleading campaign that ‘LISANIAT AUR SOBAIAT PAKISTANI KOM KAY LEEAY ZAHAR HA’)having peripheral approach towards analyzing and figuring out the actual plot…So that the majority of the masses of this federation may turn desperate again and seek refuge again in a virtual/hypothetical fake Pakistaniat, and the exploiters’ mafia may linger on their looting… But at the same time yet, there is immense hope in Sindhis, Pathans and specifically Balochs, who could easily identify the actual culprits and have been struggling for their rights…and we few Punjabis are completely with them in their legitimate struggle…If Malik Saleem and his accomplices continuously want to live in the state of denial due the state/establishment sponsored power being provided to them in terms of the most powerful tool (media) of now a days , which has been completely given in their mercenaries’ control in order to pave a way to accomplish the above described conspiracy either of the division of 4 genuine nations one by one OR only to divide Punjab to give a huge/absolute edge to the Punjabi establishment over other un-divided units/regions/provinces of this federation…This is purely an un-constitutional and undemocratic move of the ‘Punjabi establishment’ to create pseudo-nations within genuine nations or creating un-natural states within genuine states just to weaken the all 4 genuine nations… but they should remember they might make fool some people for some time, yet the prudent and dignified Sindhis, Pathans and Balochs could never ever get trapped in their new maneuvering…! If someone among the so-called newly created/coined nations like Saraikis/in fact the Southern Punjabis don’t believe in me, he/they should pay a visit to Pashtoonkhwa, Sindh or particularly Balochistan and prove their newly establishment given Saraiki identity before ordinary Sindhis, Pathans or Balochs (like the Balochs of BLA, BRA instead of establishment’s designed PONAM); I am dead sure their families would get the irrefutable evidence in terms of their carcasses…Because they can’t disguise the well aware Sindhi, Pathan and Baloch masses by concealing their actual Punjabi identity by putting the establishment’s given masks of Saraiki, Potohari, Pakistani etc…! So any attempt to divide Sindh, Pakhtoonkhwa, Balochistan or Punjab would be countered with full force…as far as the boundaries of the said four nations’ regions are concerned, we all four genuine Sindhi, Pakhtoon, Baloch and Punjabi nations would amicably resolve it by sitting together through dialogue…but won’t let any 5th columnist among us capitalize from our differences in terms of creating any state within any states of the said four nations… Hamad khan Lashari October 2, 2011 at 3:56 am | #43 Reply | Quote ri8 Shafique Korai Baloch July 17, 2012 at 7:55 pm | #44 Reply | Quote south punjab Korai Baloch ki bahut akseriat hai jo k Rahim Yar Khan se shuru hoti hai or faisal abad se le k DI Khan tak akseriat mein rehte hain SAHAR KHAN June 13, 2013 at 6:37 am | #45 Reply | Quote DON’T BE WORRY BALOCH BROTHERS WE R EVERY WHERE MY NAME IS SAHAR KHAN WE R JATOI AND WE R IN HUGE NUMBERS U KNOW SINCE 30 YEARS BALOCH ONLY RECUMENDED FOR NATIONAL ASSEMBLEY MEMBERSHIP WE R NOT ONLY BALOCH WE R PAKISTANI FIRST .

Sami Baloch March 14, 2012 at 12:18 pm | #59 Reply | Quote After so many comments and discussion it is now not appropriate to give comments on the article. I appreciate the writer who wrote about Baloch tribes of Dera Ghazi Khan . This land of baloch tribes has its own history and was never a part of any other waseeb and was included in Punjab to devid baloch land for the reseason which is known by every one, and the nabors of these tribes were used to speak language which is called saraki. The saraiki is not language of any Waseeb this was spoken both side of Sind River . But This was/is the language Bahawalpur state. Please dont confuse baloch in the saraiki both are very different in all manners. m.shakeel April 26, 2012 at 12:18 pm | #60 Reply | Quote yr apne tu sial family ko khatam he kr dala hai kia hum saraiki nhe hain kia Baloch May 27, 2012 at 11:37 am | #61 Reply | Quote who is this f*****g guy.you are Nerd mr.miana.
