Mughal Tribe - Clans

Clans

The three clans that the original Mughal immigrants belonged to were the Chughtai and Douli and Barlas. In Pakistan their main clans are the Qazilbash, Turkmen, Turk, Uzbek, Kai and Chak, while in Punjab and on the border between NWFP and Kashmir, the main clans are the Barlas Douli and Chughtai. There are also a number of other tribal groupings who claim Mughal ancestry. Here is a brief description of the five main Mughal clans found in South Asia.
