Its ancestors were darweshes who followed the tenets of the Sayyid Muhammad, the Junpuri, a noted teacher, and one of them, Harmus, espoused a daughter of the Abara Jats of Sind, receiving a grant of land as her dower. His son or grandson. Shaikh Nasir, and his son Shaikh Din Muhammad established their temporal and spiritual authority over the Abara territory in Upper Sind. His brother Yar Muhammad threw off all allegiance to the Mughals, seized the Siwistan sarkar of Thatha, the Siwi mahali of Bakhar in the Multan Province, and Dihar, and wrested the title of Khudayar from the Mughal authorities. His descendant Nur Muhammad drove the Daudpotras out of the zamindari of Lakkhi, in the Bakhar mahal. In 1736-37 the Lati Khan, Khudayar received the province of Thatha, together with the southern part of the Bakhar sarkar, but two or three years later he was stripped of two-thirds of his territory by Nadir Shah. After Nadir Shahs death however the Khudayar assumed authority over all Sind, under the nominal suzerainty of the Durranis, but their rule was short-lived. Nur Muhammad Kalhora was succeeded on his death in 1762 by his son Muhammad Murad, but he only ruled for five years and was deposed by the Talpur Baloch, who set up his brother Mian Ghulam Shah (1757-58). An attempt by his brother Attar Khan to regain Sind, under the authority of a Durrani grant, failed, Ghulam Shah died in 1771, while superintending the erection of the fortress of Haidarabad in Sindh, after a stormy reign of 15 years. He had in 1758 allowed the East India Company to establish a factory in Sindh, but Sarfarz Khan, his son and successor, cancelled the permit in 1775.

Chak De Pathe - You killed it Imran prava

 

[RockyX]

Imran bhai, you copied all Jat Clan. These Muslim Jats clans originated from Hindus Jats from different place of North India and Pakistan. There are 1,000 of sub caste /Regions of Hindu Jats. So, It's their clan in Muslim Jats too. I think there is no Sub caste among Muslim Jats. Sikh Jats were formed from and by Hindu Jats to fight against Mughals.

 

[Rafi]

Conversion of the Jats to Islam

The earliest mention of Jats can be found in the Arabic book Chach Nama also known as the Fateh nama Sindh and Tarekh-e-Hind wa Sindh. During the Arab invasion of Sind by Muhammad bin Qasim the Jats belonged to the Buddhist faith and were suffering severe hardships under the Brahman ruler Chach. It is recorded that the Jats at first fought against Muhammad bin Qasim but later joined his forces against the then ruler Dahir (Raja) and this also led to the conversion of the Jats to the Islamic faith.[10] But most of the Punjabi Muslim Jats trace their conversion to Islam at the hands of Sufi saints like Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar in the 12th century.

Muslim Jat Folklore

Muslim Jats gave birth to romances such as Heer Ranjha and Mirza Sahiba which are sung by all Jats and have been immortalised in Waris Shahs poetry book Heer that tells the story of the love of Heer and her lover Ranjha.

Muslim Jats of Punjab
(Urdu: جاٹ مسلما&#1606

32,705,000

 

[RockyX]

Jats were formed/started around 1900 years ago during Kushan Empire.

Kushan Empire

Mahraja Shalendra was first Jat King some 1600 years back.

Jats originated from this Kingdom. 99% Jats live in same area even today.

[salvage]

Irritating isn't it?

Especially after they claim there isn't a caste system among south Asian Muslims.

Pakistan is hardly in south asia....it is in Central Asia and a part of Greater middle east.....Pakistani punjab has been the center of civilization since 5000 B.C(Indus Valley Civilization)in Pakistan around Indus river.

there is no punjab in india....as punjab means land of five rivers and the last i checked the map there are no five rivers flowing in the state you call indian punjab.
