  1. Rind

    Rind are a Baloch tribe settled in the Balochistan province of Iran, and the Balochistan Province of Pakistan, Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan. They are descendants of Mir Jalal Khan, the Founder and Ruler of the First Baloch Confederacy in the 12th Century. Mir Jalal Khan is believed to be the Ancestor of the Rinds, Lasharis, Hooths, Korais and Jatois. This tribe is considered progenitor of many Baloch tribes including: Nutkani, Marri, Qaisrani, Bozdar, dashti or dasti, Ranjhani, Bugti, Khushk, Nizamani and others. They speak Balochi, Sindhi and Seraiki. Because they were centered around Dashtor,they are sometimes called Dashti,dasti-. Mir Chakar Rind, the folk hero of the Baloch epic Hani and Sheh Mureed, united Baloch tribes in the 15th century and established his rule over Balochistan. His tomb is in Satghara, Sahiwal District, Punjab. The present chief of the Rind tribe is Sardar Khan wd. Imam Bakhsh Khan Rind, who lives in Shoran, Kalat.
