The Marri are a Balochi-speaking tribe of the Baloch people, who inhabit a large arid region in northeastern Balochistan, Pakistan.
[1] Traditionally, the Marri people, like other Baloch tribes, were nomads and earned their livelihood from grazing animals and fighting and raiding.
[2] Many of them hold key high positions in Pakistan both in Provincial and Federal levels of Government.
The early history of the Marri centers around the Mir Chakar Khan, the folk hero of many Baloch romances and leader of the Rind tribe.
After his quarrels with the Lasharies, and after he had been driven out of Sibi, Mir Chakar went to what is now the present Marri country near the Manjara River.
