Jalal Khan (Urdu: جلال خان‎) is a legendary figure in the history of the Baloch people who led the Baloch from Persia to Makran. Jalal Khan had four sons, Rind Khan, Hoth Khan, Lashar Khan, and Kora Khan, and a daughter, Bibi Jato, who was married to his nephew (and her cousin) Murad. Baloch tribes derive their eponymous names from Jalal Khan's children, these five are believed to be the founders of the main Balochi divisions: Rind, Lashari (Laashaar), Hoth/Hooth, Korai and Jatoi. He may be the same as Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu, the last ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire.Not much is known about his ancestry and the origins of Baloch people in general. Ancestry: It’s widely believed that Jalal Khan (similarly to all Baloch people) is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s uncle, Ameer Hamza. It’s also believed that his ancestors were distantly related to the Oghuz Turks, Seljuks and the Kurds. Because of the belief that Baloch people’s ancestral home was Aleppo, second largest city in modern day Syria, it’s theorised that they possibly could also be very close to the Ayyubids and one point in history.
