After civil war between Rind and Lashar tribes, many groups and families of both tribes migrated to various parts of Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab which lateron became clans and sub-clans of respective tribes.
The name Lashar derives from the son of Mir Jalal Khan, Mir Lashar Khan, Ruler of the territory in the 12th Century.
It seems probable that there were five principal gatherings of clans under well-known leaders, and that they became known by some nickname or descriptive epithet, such as the Rinds (‘chess’), the Hooths (‘warriors‘), the Lasharis (‘men of Lashar‘), etc., and that these names were afterwards transferred to their ostensible ancestors.
