History

Jam Lakho Fulani was adopted as a son by Jam Jada, who was the direct descendant of Jam Unad (Not to be confused with Jam Unar) in Nagar Thattha Sindh. Jam Jada had no any legitimate heir to his throne, but after some time Jam Jada's wife gave birth to a child named Ghao. Soon after the death of Jam Jada, Ghao refused to share the ruling powers with Jam Lakho an adopted son of Jam Jada, and was forced to leave Sindh along with his twin brother Lakhair and companions. Lakho and his brother Lakhair went to Kuch and ragained control of Chavdas territorites, which were named after Lakhiar as Lakhiarviro by his brother Lakho. The descendants of Lakho Jadani are known as Jadejas "belonging to Jada".

Death

He died at Atkot, Lakho fell fighting against Solanki king Mulraj of Anhilwad Patan within the lands of Atkot; after his death Rato Raydhan succeeded to the throne. On the other hand, sources from Marwar tradition says that the Lako Phoolani was killed by the Rathore Raja Sayaji of Marwar. Colonel James Todd also preferred the latter tradition. He was killed by his maternal uncle Rai Khann'ghaar in 1010, at that time, his age was 99 years.

However some researchers says that tomb of Lakho and Lakhi is somewhere in Kutch, but Lakho Fulani's dead body was brought from Kutch, Bhuj to Deh, Kot Dhingano, Kacho, District Shaheed Benzirabad Sindh by his fellows.
