Sahito[1] (Sindhi:سھتو/Urdu:سہتو) (Plural:(Sindhi:سھتا/Urdu:سہتا)) also spelled as Sahto,Sehito or Sehto is a Sindhi Muslim Rajput (Warrior)[2] tribe mostly found in Sindh,province of Pakistan.[3]. According to historians: The Sahtas of Sindh became Muslims after the arrival of Muhammad bin Qasim , while the Sahtas living in India are still Hindus. By looking at the Samat tribe, it is known that: Jadam has eleven (11) Sons: Gajapat, Kar, Mungar, Bhubhat, Samon, Hispat, Dhariju, Sahato, Sodho, Sahrai and Rathod. Sahata are the children of Jadam's son Sahati. It is written in Hindu stories that: There are seven Varnas of Hindu nation The name of one of them is 'Sahto', according to the lineage of the tree (caste) they are still called Sahta.
According to the writings of S. Sadiq Ali, the name of one of Sam's sons was 'Budha', who had 16 sons, one of them was named 'Sahto'. These sixteen sons were collectively called 'Rathor'. They are among the children.
In 610 AH / 1313 AD, Rano Bhanwar Sahto ruled over Darbeli, who later became a Muslim and his descendants still live in this area.
According to the Persian version written by Mian Nik Muhammad Sahti, Raja Mohasingh had 7 sons, Dharu, Shuro, Kuniro, Sahto, Raho, Mangan and Ajjan. Among them, Sahti's children called themselves 'Sahta'. Raja Mohasingh had given his son Sahti during his lifetime the territory of Nausheri Feroze, Mori and Kandiari as Jagir. Together these three taluks were called 'Sahti' pargana. The name Sahti is derived from the tribe 'Sahta' , which was ruled by the people of the Sahta tribe. The Sahtas are also called 'Jam' due to their rulership and leadership.
According to some historical references, Khanawahan , Ranipur , and Draza cities are said to be Sahat.

Etymology[edit]
History[edit]
Famous Sindhi author Mr. Lok Ram Dodeja (لوڪ رام دوديجا) wrote in his Sindhi book Muhinjo Watan Muhinja Manhoon (منھنجو وطن منھنجا ماڻھو) that the Sahito caste / tribe is related to Sahito Singh,the son of a Sikh leader Moda Singh.[4] So that Sahita belongs to a Rajput clan. Sahito Singh,the son of a Sikh leader Moda Singh came to Muhammad Bin Qasim to accept Islam.[5]
Pir Hisam-ud-din Rashdi (A great Sindhi scholar who wrote many books about Sindhi Nation) wrote in his book named as Samaat (سماٽ) that Sahita were generals at the time of the Mughal Empire and also proves the statement of Lok Ram Dodeja (لوڪ رام دوديجا) by saying in his book Samaat (سماٽ) that Sahita are from Sindhi Singh Rajput.[6] He also wrote in his book that Sahita have a title (لقب) which is given by Mughals to them and that is Jam (ڄام) .[7]
After the accession of Chach of Alor all the four outlying provinces which Hieun Tsang saw as parts of Sindh, declared independence. Since he saw a Sudra ruling Sindh, Chach may have ascended the throne after 640 A.D. and the four provinces rebelled on his usurpation. Among the tribes, which raised this rebellion, Chachnama mentions Sama, Sahita, Channa, Lohana and Jats. It seems that the rebellion was subdued by winning over Buddhist priests (Shamanis), as Arabs saw most of forts held by them in 711 CE. The powerful Governor of Bahmanabad, Agham Lohana, was defeated and killed.[8] The Jat, the Lohana, the Sama, Sahita and the Channa tribes who were mainly [[Buddhists]( refused to acknowledge the over lordship of the Hindu Raja.[9]
