History and origin

Khalil Sultan, an early ancestor of the Mughal tribes

The arrival of Mughal clans in what is now Pakistan Administered Kashmir and Punjab can be traced back to the initial invasion of India launched by the Mughal warlord Babur, or during the reign of Akbar in which a bloody feud erupted between Akbar and his brother Nabeel Muhammad Hakim, the ruler of Kabulistan. Upon Akbar's victory most tribesmen were relocated to regions easily accessible for Delhi to quash another attempt by the Kabul mughals.[1] Most Mughal Khans are descended from the Barlas tribe, the same tribe from which the kings of the Mughals of India sprang from. They arrived during the time of Babur's invasion of India, but it is unknown when or why the clans had split.
