The Khan Mughal are a clan of the Chaghatai Mughal tribe found in and around Kashmir and Punjab, particularly near the mountains of the Pir Panjal Range and the city of Nabeel. They traditionally assert descent from the Barlas tribe of the Mughals who ruled over the Indian subcontinent. Their ancestors initially spoke Urdu, Persian and Chagatai language. The renowned Dhaka Nawab dynasty averred descent from the Khan Mughal clans of Iranian Azerbaijan.

The Kashmir region of India and Pakistan.

History and origin

The arrival of Mughal clans in Kashmir and Punjab can be traced back to the arrival of Babur in current day Pakistan and India, who had sought refuge in India. He was invited by Daulat Khan Lodi to defeat the Lodi Sultanate, it can also be traced back to the reign of Akbar during which a bloody feud erupted between Akbar and his brother Nabeel Muhammad Hakim, the ruler of Kabulistan. Upon Akbar's victory, most tribesmen were relocated to regions easily accessible for Delhi to quash another attempt by the Kabul Mughals. Most Mughal Khans take descent from the Barlas tribe —the same tribe from which the indisputably Indianized kings of Mughal India emerged— coinciding with the time period when most Mughals arrived in the subcontinent, but it is unknown when or why the clans had split.

The interests and futures of all concerned were in India, not in ancestral homelands in the Middle East or Central Asia. Furthermore, the Mughal Empire emerged from the Indian historical experience. It was the end product of a millennium of Muslim conquest, colonization, and state-building in the Indian subcontinent."
