Khetran information


Sardar Rab Nawaz Khan Khetran Chief (Tumandar), head of Khetran tribe during British rule

The Khetrans are a tribe found primarily in Dera Ghazi Khan and Barkhan District of Balochistan. Their area is a large hilly tract in the Sulaiman Mountains comprising the whole of Barkhan and Dera Ghazi Khan District as well as small parts of neighbouring Kohlu District to the south-west, and Musakhel District to the north. The total population is about 150,000, and at least two-thirds are speakers of the Khetrani language. Khetrans who have settled to the east in the Dera Ghazi Khan District of Punjab; they speak the Saraiki language.[1] who are sometimes considered as decendents of chief or ancestors of khetrans. Khetrans are also present in Sindh.

For some unknown reasons most of the Khetrans moved to Barkhan later spread over the north of Balochistan. Some believe it was Mughal Emperor Akbar's era.
