Jats of Balochistan

A large proportion are in the profession of camel herding.

[4] Jadgals are another Jat ethnic group living in Balochistan.

[5] The major Jat tribes in Balochistan include: By the time of Muhammad bin Qasim's conquest of Sind in the eighth century, Arab writers described agglomerations of Jats and Meds in the arid, the wet, and the mountainous regions of the conquered land of the Sindh[9] and Makran regions of today's Pakistani province of Balochistan, which at that time was part of Sindh.

The Jats were present in Makran and Lasbela long before the migration of ancestors of the Baloch from Kerman, Khorasan and the Sistan and Baluchistan provinces of present-day Iran.

The Arab rulers though professing a theologically egalitarian religion, maintained the position of Jats and the discriminatory practices against them that had been put in place in the long period of Hindu rule in Sind between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries.
