Lashari


The Lashari are a Baloch tribe. According to Baloch folklore the tribe was founded by Lashar Khan, one of Jalal Khan's four sons and the brother of the other founders of the main Baloch Tribes Rind Khan, King Hoth, Kora Khan and Bibi Jato. At the turn of the 15th century the Lasharis, led by Mir Gwahram Khan Lashari, are believed to have engaged in a 30-year war against the Rind, in which the Rind were mostly eliminated. These events are the subject of many Balochi heroic ballads.
