The two clans that the original Mughal immigrants belonged to were the Chughtai and Douli and Barlas. In Pakistan their main clans are the
Qazilbash, Turkmen, Turk, Uzbek, Tajik, Kai and Chak, while in Punjab and on the border between NWFP and Kashmir, the main clans are the
Barlas and
Chughtai. There are also a number of other tribal groupings who claim Mughal ancestry. Here is a brief description of the five main Mughal clans found in South Asia.
Douli
Tha word Douli Clan of Mughal actually came from Delli, because they are descendant from a delli. The Douli' are found mainly along line of control in the villages of Hajira, Dara Sher Khan, Mandhole, Abbaspur, Serarri as well Rawalakot town in Poonch District.Other then that Douli'live in N.W.F.P Hazara likly Haripure district Mostly in Tehsil Ghazi, and District Sawabi, speak Hindk
thers They are Pahari speaking, as are most Poonch District tribes.
Chughtai
The name Chughtai is a distorted form of Chaghadai, which means Chagan (white) and the suffix –dai The word Chaghadai thus means he who is white. Chugtai Khan was the second son of Changez Khan. The mother of Babar, the founder of the Mughal dynasty in South Asia, belonged to the Chughtai clan.
The Chughtai are perhaps the most widespread of any of the Mughal clans in South Asia; many came to parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India accompanying Babar. An early census of India conducted by British colonial authorities rather unsurprisingly showed the greatest concentrations of Chughtai to be in Delhi, the centre of Mughal power, in Lucknow, the capital of the Nawabs of Awadh, in the townships of western Uttar Pradesh, Kashmir, in north eastern Hazara and in Punjab (India).
They remain the largest of the Mughal clans and are found throughout in north eastern Hazara, Punjab and Sindh in Pakistan.
Barlas
The Barlas trace their origin to Qarchar .The leading clan of the Barlas tribe traced its origin to Qarchar Barlas, head of one of Chaghadai's regiments.
The Barlas formed a significant part of the Mughal population in South Asia. Like the Chaghatai, the Barlas were concentrated in cities such as Lahore, Pakistan, a major centre of the Mughal Empire, and a smaller number are believed to have settled in Lukhnow. They are normally found in between the north eastern border between Hazara and Azad Kashmir, in Punjab and in Sindh provinces of Pakistan.Some family of Mughal Barlas has been settled on the bank of river jhelum and adopted the profession of boats, one of the name Haji Ahmed, commonely known as Choudary Haji in Jhelum city.The small numbers of barlas family had settled down in district Gujrat on the bank of Jhelum river. The main villages were Chak Nazar, Khardayala, Mong Rasool, Pandoori Mughlah, Thatti Mughlah, Qazi Chak, Mughlah Chak and in Chakwal, the village Malhar Mughlah. This family owned 3000 hectres of land, having a strong family ties.One of the Mughal Barlas Family had shifted to District Jhelum in the village of Aima Afghana, a small village on the main road from Jhelum to Mangla Dam. Mirza Khan Muhammad, Mirza Doust Muhammad, and Mirza Gul Muhammad were the leading heads of the family.This Barlas family adopted the art of cultivation as well as the Government jobs and well known due to its high sustainable attitudes. The Barlas clan are considered to be the purest Mughal tribe in the sub continent.
Qizilbash
The term Qizilbash refers to a number of tribes who had helped Shah Ismail I to defeat the Aq Qoyunlu. As these tribes were by far the most important in number and influence, the name Kizilbash is usually applied to them only.[6] Some of these greater Turcoman tribes were subdivided into as many as eight or nine clans and included the:
Ustādjlu
Rumlu
Shamlu (the most powerful clan during the reign of Shah Ismail I.)
Afshar
Dulkadirids (Arabic: Dhu 'l-Kadar)
Qajār
Takkalu
Other tribes, such as the Turkman, Bahārlu, Qaramānlu, Warsāk,or Ustādjlu, were occasionally listed among these "seven great Aymaqs", or confederation of the Qizilbash.
Population estimates vary from 800,000 to 3,000,000 people who are descendants of the Qizilbash. They established several settlements principally in Pakistan in medieval times, as well as in the urban centres of Afghanistan. Entire villages and sometimes districts were settled by the Qizilbash where many of their descendants can still be found to this day.
In Pakistan, the Qizilbash are predominantly Twelver Shia with a significant Hanafi Sunni minority. The Qizilbash are an influential group found in almost all segments of Pakistani society, particularly in the fertile provinces of Panjab, North-West Frontier Province, Balochistan and Sindh. There are sizeable populations in the cities of Karachi, Multan, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Sialkot, Hyderabad and Rawalpindi.
In India, the Qizilbash are found mainly in Lukhnow, where many prominent Qizilbash families were closely connected with the regime of the Nawabs of Awadh.
Turk
There are two communities in South Asia, those of Punjab (Pakistan) and those of Uttar Pradesh. The Turks of Uttar Pradesh are a cultivating community found in the districts of Rampur J.P. Nagar, Moradabad, Bareilly and in the Terai region. These Turks are descendants of Turkish soldiers who were said to have been settled along the slopes of the Himalaya by the medieval Mohammed Ghori.
In Punjab, the term Turk refers to any inhabitant of Central Asia, or Turkestan(Currently known as Uyghur Autonomous Region of China), as the region was historically known. The Turks of the Punjab region include the Karlugh Turks of the Hazara Division, also known as Uyghur people. In addition to these Turks, there was also a colony of Turks settled in Gurdaspur District who were once said to be the most ferocious warriors of khilji army. They claim descent from Central Asian Turkic soldiers settled in Gurdaspur District by the Khilji sultans.
The Mughal settled all over South Asia. According to the Joshua Project, there numbers were as follows, India (1,617,000),[1] Bangladesh (39,000) Afghanistan (200), Pakistan (1,088,000),[1] and Nepal (1,000). In India, they are found in the following states Uttar Pradesh (624,000), Maharashtra (176,000), Karnataka (138,000), Andhra Pradesh (102,000), Delhi (93,000), Gujarat (77,000), Madhya Pradesh (61,000), Tamil Nadu (41,000) and Bihar (22,000). In Pakistan they are found in the following provinces, Punjab, (549,000), Azad Kashmir (156,000), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (140,000), Sindh (137,000), Islamabad (43,000) and Baluchistan (900).
In Pakistan, there are several clans that claim Mughal ancestry scattered over Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan, North-West Frontier Province and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where historically quite a few Central Asian tribes had settled.
Turkmen
Historically, all of the Western or Oghuz Turks have been called Türkmen or derisively Turkoman; however, today the terms are usually restricted to the Turkmen people of Turkmenistan and surrounding area.
The modern Turkmen people descend, at least in part, from the Oghuz Turks of Transoxiana, the western portion of Turkestan, a region that largely corresponds to much of Central Asia as far east as Xinjiang. Oghuz tribes had moved westward from the Altay mountains in the 7th century CE, through the Siberian steppes, and settled in this region. They also penetrated as far west as the Volga basin and the Balkans. A large number of Turkmen clans were settled by the Mughal rulers in North India. The Turkmen now form the principal Mughal clan among the Mughal community of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in North India.
