The Jatoi Baloch

As per the Baloch folklore, this clan originated from Mai Jatee, a daughter of Jalal Khan, hence the name Jatoi. Apart from the folklore, the historical evidence does not substantiate this claim. Perhaps, in an attempt to undermine the importance of this clan, its lineage was attributed to a lady. As typical of Baloch tribal system, most probably it was also named after a male descendant of Jalal Khan with the name Jatoi. Just like Chandiya Baloch and Korai Baloch, they also moved upwards to north-east, descended from Mullah Pass, initially settled in Kachchi & Gandava, & then passing through Harbab pass entered Indus Valley. Their important sub-clans are Atarani Baloch, Nachrani Baloch & Misrani Baloch.

Khuda Bux Mari in his book ‘Balochistan Tareekh ke aa’inay main’ writes that as per a folk Balochi song Jataoi is derived from Mai Jatto who was a Jatt lady (different from Jaat / Jat as in Punjab). The lady got married to a Rind and due to this Jatois were not considered as pure Baloch (Najeeb ul tarfain concept).

He further writes that Jatois are from Jatt tribe which were called ‘Ala’zt’ by Tibri. They were originally from Sindh. Just after Arab conquest of Sindh, 4000 Jatts migrated from Sindh to Ira and converted to Muslims. They were given properties near Basra.

Like Korai, they also live near Punjab-Sindh border area (Siro) and speak Saraiki. Some other famous sb-clans include Hisbani (famous actress Sabreen Hisbani- Sanam Baloch’s sister), BurghRi, Shar (Muhammad Saleh Shar - A PTV host of Sidhi programs during 80s and 90s).
