lashari history

Lashari, sometime spelt Lasharie, (Urdu: لاشاری) is the name of a Baloch tribe in Pakistan and Iranian Balochistan. The Lasharis have also migrated and settled in the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, Georgia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, England and many other countries of the world. A distinction should be made between the Baloch and the Balochi people; the former are an ethnic group while the latter refers to the people of Balochistan regardless of race.

According to the Balochi narration, Lashari Balouch is Qureshi Arabs generation of Hazrat Ameer Hamza. When Yazeed, second Caliph of the Umvi Caliphate, ejected Hazrat Imam Hussain as at that time Balouchs living in Aleppo, largest city of Syria, were confederates of Imam Hussain against Yazeed. Yazeed oppressed Balochis (then known as Balushi or Baloos), so they left Aleppo and started to migrate to other countries.

In 1487 a great Baloch Kingdom was formed under Mir Chakar Rind's rule, which was later destroyed by a civil war between the Lashari and Rind tribes. Mir Ghoram Khan Lashari and Mir Chakar Khan Rind were leaders in their tribes during the Baloch civil war.
After this war, the Lashari and Rind tribes settled mostly in Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and in the Thal Desert (in Muzaffargarh and Layyah District).
According to their history, the Lashari tribe migrated with the Jilani Syeds from Baghdad, Iraq to Sindh. The Lasharis were named Nangrejo by the Jilani Syeds. The Nangrejo tribe is influential in interior Sindh.

Another Lashari tribe with two major clans, Azam Khel and Kando Khel, are settled in Mianwali District of Southern Punjab. These clans have intermarried with each other as well as with other Baloch tribes. Their extended families are settled in areas of Neengranwala in Faisalabad District and areas of Waan Bhachran and Pai Khel, Mianwali District. Sardar Muhammad Ali Khan Lasharie heads the Azam Khel clan.
