Nizamani

The Nizāmāni are a Baloch tribe of Sindh, Pakistan.[1] They are settled in the districts of Sanghar[2] and Tando Muhammad Khan,[3] among others.

In the 1850s, in the course of the reorganisation of the jagir system subsequent to the British conquest of Sindh, the Nizamani were among the tribes with the largest number of jarirdars.[4]
