Tribe In PakistanDodai is a Baluch tribe of self-claimed Soomro Rajput origin. Members of the Dodai Tribe went on to found the towns of Dera Ismail Khan, Dera Ghazi Khan and Dera Fateh Khan. The Dodai Tribe ruled the Trans-Indus Derajat region in the form of the Mirani Dynasty till the middle of the 18th century. The Main Dodai Tribe has disappeared and nowadays exists in the form of its sub-tribes the Gurchanis and Miranis.
Origin and branches
The Dodai claim descent from Doda, a Soomro king. According to Balochi Folklore, the Dodai tribe was formed from the descendants of Doda, a wandering Soomra royal who married a Rind women named Mudko. The main branches of Dodais are Gurchani and Mirani.
Arrival in Derajat
The Rajput tribe named Langah, long since converted to Islam, had established an independent kingdom at Multan under their chief Rai Sehra (around 1443 AD), who renamed himself Qutub-ud-din. He was succeeded in 1469 AD by his son, Shah Husain Langah, who ruled till 1502 AD. It was during Shah Hussain's rule that the first settlement of Balochs in Punjab began under Malik Sohrab Dodai, head of the Dodai tribe. He came to Multan with his sons Ghazi Khân, Fateh Khan, and Ismail Khân, and a large number of Balochs. Shah Husain encouraged them and gave them a jagir extending from Kot Karor to Dhankot, on condition of military service. Other Balochs, hearing of this, came flocking in, and gradually took control of the area between Sitpur and Dhankot, corresponding with the present district of Muzaffargarh between the Indus and the Chenab. The chief authorities for these events are Firishta's history of the Kings of Multan and the Tabakat-i-Akbari. Firishta calls the newcomers both Dodáis and Balochs, and says that they came from Kech and Makran. Soon after this two brothers belonging to the Samma tribe, Jam Bayazid and Jam Ibrahim, who had quarreled with Jam Nindo (or Nizamu'd-din), the Samma ruler of Sindh, came as refugees to Shah Husain, and also obtained jagirs around Uch and Shor. Jam Bayazid became a person of great influence and commander of the Shah's armies. After Shah Husain's death and the accession of Shah Mahmud Langah he went into rebellion. A temporary reconciliation took place, but there seems to have been a good deal of friction between Malik Sohrab Dodai and Jam Bayazid. This circumstance is connected with the second arrival of Balochs under Mir Chakar Rind, whose name is celebrated among all Balochs up to the present day.
Rivalry with the Rind Balochs
Mir Chakar Rind and his son Mirzā Shahdad (or, according to some, his two sons Shahid and Shuhda) came from Sibi seeking service and lands. Malik Sohrab Dodai, out of jealousy, prevented Shah Mahmud from accepting his services; whereupon Jam Bayazid took up his cause, and assigned him lands from his own jagir of Uch. The rivalry between the Rinds (Chakar Khan's tribe) and the Dodais (Sohrab Khan's tribe) is the subject of many poems.
