Jahangiris are the descendants of Sultan Jahangir Swati of Pakhli Sarkar/Gabar Sulatnate (1190–1510)[citation needed]. Sultan Jahangir was grandson of founder of Gabar Sultanate, Sultan Fakhal(Pakhal)[dubious ]. Sultan Jahangir had three[dubious ] brothers Sultan Arghush(Arghushals), Malik Khan (Malkals), Aznal(Aznalis)[citation needed].
