Jatoi (Baloch Tribe)
The Jatoi (Sindhi: جتوئی) is a Sindhi Baloch tribe 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. However, it is also mentioned that Jaoti is from Jaatan (جاتن), who was the fifth son of Mir Jalal Khan.
