Origin

History

H.A. Rose writes that Their tradition is that they fled from Persia into Balochistan, whence they were expelled by the Marri, Bugti and Kahiri Baloch. But they also say that they are an offshoot of the Qaisarani tribe of Sanghar tahsil in Dera Ghazi Khan whose chief is stated to keep their genealogical tree. In the east Kachhi of Balochistan the Marris, Bugtis and Kahiris all say that prior to their advent into that tract it was held by a people called Kupchani of Jat origin or status. This tradition lends support to the theory that Balochistan was once occupied by Jats, who were driven out by the Pathan, Brahui and Baloch. [1]
