Jatoi (Baloch tribe) explained

The Jatoi is a Baloch tribe^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]} in Sindh and the Kacchi Plain in the east of Balochistan. Balochi traditional ballads tell of a leader named Mir Jalal Khan who had four sons, Rind, Lashar, Hot, and Korai, and a daughter Jato, who married his nephew Morad. These five are, according to these ballads, the eponymous founders of the five tribes of the Rinds, Lasharis, Hoths, Korais, and Jatois.^[8] However, it is also mentioned that Jaoti is from Jaatan (جاتن), who was the fifth son of Mir Jalal Khan.^[9]
