Do you have source? Bhutto word comes from Bhutta not Bhatti as in Sindhi words ending in -a become -o. For example Larkana is called 'Larkano'. Bhutto are thought to be related to the Bhutta Arains of Southern Punjab. Many of them are Seraiki nationalists.
I have noticed that there is a very much interest of many members to discuss about Punjabi muslims so why not lets list and discuss Muslim Punjabi Tribes and their origins.
Arrains: Almost all of them are sunnis and they claim their descent from Syrian soldiers who migrated with Mohd. Bin Qassim from a town in Syria called Areeha ( in english "Jericho" ). Areeha was considered military district of Shaam region. It can be an exaggeration to their claim but one has to look into the research done about them. i read at wikipedia that there some people who think Arain are sub caste of rajputs but I think it is nonsense & some says that arains are persian origin race and Kambojahs are there closest cousins in this regard but again i dont know any kaamboj so i dont know their habits.
1. B blood group is common among them.
2. Most of them are sunnis muslims
3. Most of them live in Punjab and many of them are also living in Sindh
4. Mian, Chaudhry, Bhutta & Meher are common titles found among them
5. They dont have any sub tribes and castes.
6. They are small Landowners. Mostly grow vegetables ( in jokes people always talk about arrains and onions ) The place i mentioned in the introduction from where they originated it is called Areha in arabic and in English its called Jericho. I found out that the people there r into farming so may b there is a clue but then i can be wrong because many people in India are also into agri business too.
7. they are also famous to be in angry mood. ( an old sikh lady told me that Arain badday daadaay honday ne & when i told her that i am an Arrain she was like speechless and said pehle kyun nai dasyea ) i was laughing too.
8. They try not to marry into other tribes or castes but this is a trend of every tribe in Punjab or may i gues everywhere especially in muslim world. ( once a Syed Gillani girl told me that they tend to marry in Pathans and Rajputs and they see others including arrain as a low tribe)
This is what i have found so far please enlighten me with your knowledge of all other Tribes. It will be better if you tell some traits of the tribes as well thank you
Actually, they traditionally claimed descent from Rai Jaj of Lahore and Raja Bhutta of Multan/Uch Sharif regions not Arabs.
This is only recently made due to them being apart from Awans, the only muslim exclusive tribe in Punjab.
It is kind of like Jatts (both Sikh and Muslim) and Scythian descent claims, although most Jatts traditionally didnt use to claim Scythian descent but it has only recently became popular. However, Jatts are indeed somewhat 'steppe' shifted as recent genetic tests have found out and Arains are also somewhat 'West-shifted'. From Eurasia K9 calculator

In Sindh, there isnt any firm Rajput identity present. There are mainly two types/confederations in Sindh
a) Sindhi Baloch who are linguistically and culturally Sindhi but of Baloch origin (Jatois, Talpurs, Chandios etc.)
b) Sammat Sindhis : Old Sindhi tribes before Baloch migrations. They are native Sindhis (Junejo, Abro, Halepoto etc.)
Rajput isnt ethnicity as a Kashmiri Rajput is genetically/culturally closer to Kashmiri Gujjar rather than to Bihari Rajput.
