The Lali, sometimes written as Lalee, are a Jat clan, found mainly in the Chiniot districts of Pakistan. HistoryThe Lali are one of a number of Jat clans that have lived in the Kirana Bar for centuries, and were historically a pastoral tribe. The Lali have several sub-divisions, the most important being the Miana, Kahana, Wanoka, Lohry, Kawain and Bodhar. 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. Their traditional seat of power was the village of Kanwenwala, but this was reduced to a petty chieftainship with the arrival of the British.This village has many people from Lali tribe even today. A secondary chieftainship also existed at the village of Jabana, but this was extinguished by the Sikhs. The Lali also founded the town of Lalian, literally the place of the Lali, where many Lali still live.They have won many elecetions from this place. The Lali also have a few settlements outside the Chiniot districts, such as Aasianwala, Chak No 60 S.B and Chak No 61 S.B in Sargodha District. References 1 : Tribes of Asia |
