Babbar, Babur, Babar is a Baloch tribe[1] which lives in Northern Sindh, Makran and Dera Ghazi Khan division of Punjab.[2] The Mughal author "Yūsuf Mīrak" described the Babbars in his historical account of Sindh the "Tareekh E Mazhar Shah Jahani", as a rebellious Baloch tribe inhabiting the Kirthar mountains westwards of present day Jamshoro district of Sindh.[3]
Babbars of Balochistan and Sindh are a sub-tribe of the Jamali tribe[4][5][6] whereas in Noshki, Kalat, and Surab districts of Balochistan, they are also present as a sub-tribe of the Brahui-speaking Mirwani tribe.
The nomadic pastoral tribes of Baloch Bareja and Baloch Babar were located around pargana Bubakan and the eastern hill tracts of sarkar Chakarhala respectively.
Babar also calling them Balochis, were settled in present Kotri taluka in the seventeenth century. It seems that most of these tribes settled in Sindh in the thirteenth century under Mongol pressure
some families belonging to the Babbar Jamali sub-tribe were among hundreds of people who had moved into Jacobabad to escape drowning at the outset of the unprecedented rains and floods that hit Balochistan (and Sindh)
