History

The Lali are one of a number of Jat clans that have lived in the Kirana Bar for centuries.[3] The tribe has produced a famous Sufi saint, Mian Muhammad Siddique Lali, who has given them a status of sanctity among the other Bar tribes.[4]

Their traditional seat of power was the village of Kawenwala, but this was reduced to a petty chieftainship with the arrival of the British. This village has many people from Lali tribe even today. The Lalis also founded the town of Lalian, literally the place of the Lali, where many Lalis still live. They have won many elections from the constituency around Lalian Tehsil which has made them politically strong among other clans of the region.

The Lalis also have a few settlements outside the Chiniot District, for example in Sargodha District.
