Hoth (Baloch Tribe)
Hoth is one of the main five tribes of the Baloch. They are the direct descendant of King Hoth. Not all, but most of them are native to Makran, Balochistan[1] and its surrounding area in Pakistan, though many of them have moved to the Sindh and Punjab parts of Pakistan.
Not much is known specifically about them.
Ancestry, history and distant family[edit]
Being the descendants of Jalal Khan,[2] they are the direct descendants of Ameer Hamza,[3] the Islamic Prophet Muhammad's beloved uncle,[4][5] making them the descendants of the Arabian clan Banu Hashim of Quraish tribe. After the fight against second Umayyad Caliph Yazid I at Karbala (in which Ameer Hamza's descendants supported and fought alongside Husayn ibn Ali) in 680, descendants of Ameer Hamza went off to settle at the east or southeast of the central Caspian region, specially toward Sistan, Iran. They are also possibly related to the Oghuz Turks, Seljuks and Kurds[6] and theoretically related to the Ayyubids as well. Their ancestral home land is believed to be Aleppo[7] in the modern day Syria.[3][4]
