The Naghar is a Pashtun tribes they are descended from Gharghasht, one of Qais Abdur Rashid sons. Originated from Afghanistan and then resettled in Karachi, Hyderabad,Quetta,Musakhail and Layyaha (Pakistan).

Kakar, Pani, Devi and Babi were real brothers. All tribes are present in Baluchistan and Afghanistan. The Naghar tribe were camel and horse breeders entered in India with Bahlol Lodi's army around 1451(chapter 9) http://www.archive.org/stream/aninquiryintoet00goog/aninquiryintoet00goog_djvu.txt and remained in glory as long as Lodi ruled. That's why the population of Lodi, Naghar and Pani is less as compared to other Afghan tribes in Baluchistan and Afghanistan. When Afghan Lodi was defeated by Mughals, the Naghar started selling horses/camels. Later on they settled in different places of India, like Gurani in District Rothak, Rajestan and Hyderabad. Naghar had six sons, their names were Ans, Trik, Parman, Abdul Rahman, Damsan and Saleh according to Pushtu historians. These tribes are present in Dist: Musakhail of Baluchistan in Pakistan and Afghanistan with mother tongue as pushto. One can find these Afghan tribes in kho-e-sulaman too. Naghar are living in village name Kohi near Musakhail bazzar, in wazirstan and Afghanistan majority of migratory Afghan tribes known as Kochi are offspring of Naghar. According to some Naghar had 12 sons. In Musakhail Blochistan Naghar's are also known as Sheikh (in pushto sheikh means an honest and religious). One can find Ans Trik, damsan, Parman, Abdulrahman and Selha tribes in kochi's (Afghan tribes move with animals between Pakistan and Afghanistan) these tribes are on the names of Naghar's sons. These tribes are also present in Punjab province District Layyah of Pakistan in good number as Layyah is approximately 40 km aerial distance from Musakhail Blochistan.

An Australian camel belongs to this tribe. They purchased it from Musakhel. Still one can find a Naghar man with 40 camels in the Sulaman mountains near Musakhail. With the passage of time, the demand of animals is decreasing.

The capture of Somnath, 1024 a.d., is said to have been due to the valour of the Ludi contingent, and Mah- MUD, in recognition of their services in this campaign, gave some of their chiefs important commands in Hindustan ; the favour they enjoyed under the Ghaznavi dynasty they retained under that of the succeeding Ghori, two centuries later, and it was a Ludi chieftain who, with his contingent of clansmen, led the van of Shahab- uddin's expedition against Delhi, 1193 a.d., when the Rajput sovereign of Hindustan, the Rae Pithoba, or Pibthwibaja, was vanquished and slain, and the empire of India transferred to the Muhammadan, On this occasion, say the Afghans, Shahabuddin, the second Sultan of the Ghori dynasty of Ghazni, raised the Ludi chieftain, Malik Mahmud, to the rank of Amir, and granted extensive estates to himself and his fellow-chiefs. From this time the fortunes of the Ludi steadily rose, and they became powerful in Panjab. The conquest of Shahabuddin opened a free communi- cation between Afghanistan and India; and large numbers of Afghans of many different tribes flocked into the country as military mercenaries. Two centuries later again, when the Amir Tymub, or Tameblane, invaded Hindustan and captured Delhi, 1398 A.D., he was accompanied by a strong contingent of Afghans, at the head of which was Malik Khidab, Ludi, with the Jalwani, Sarwani, and Niyazi chiefs from the Suleman range.

Under their rule the Afghans swarmed into Hindustan; whole tribes left their country and settled as colonists in various parts of India, princi- pally in the Rajput States of Central India, in Rajwara, Barar, and Hydrabad of the Dakhan, or Southern India. Among the tribes thus quitting Afghanistan were the Ludi, the Panni, the Naghar, the Bitani, the Maku, and others ; whilst every tribe of note sent ==

its contingent of clansmen, large or small, as the case might be, to join their countrymen and seek new homes and found new settlements in the wide extent of Hindustan. These emigrants are mostly dispersed in small communities amongst the general " population; but in some parts, as in Shekhawat, Barar, Karaoli, Hydrabad, etc., they form numerous and distinct colonies.
