Lashari

The Lashari (Balochi: لاشاری) are a baloch tribe. According to baloch folklore the tribe was founded by Lashar Khan, one of Mir Jalal Khan's four sons.[1] 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 both tribes suffered greatly. These events are the subject of many baloch heroic ballads.
