Confederation
The Lodi descend in the traditional genealogy from Ibrahim Lodi, a son of Bibi Matu and Shah Husain of Ghor. They once held the Ghazni hills and the plains of Tank and the Daman, and many moved to Hindustan under the Lodi and Sur dynasties. Their three divisions are the Niazi, Siani and Dotani.
Tribe · Lodi
The Dotani are a pawindah tribe of the Warrah valley, between the Wazir hills and the Gomal, and the third division of the Lodi. The Khulasat al-Ansab places them in the fort of Arankah near Kaniguram.
Tribe · Lodi
The Lohani moved from Katawaz to Tank, the Daman of Dera Ismail Khan and Lakki. Ibbetson names four great Lohani tribes: the Marwat, Daulat Khel, Mian Khel and Tator.
Tribe · Lodi
The Niazi are a Lodi tribe of Isa Khel and Mianwali, on both banks of the Indus, who earlier lived at Tank and in the Marwat country. The Makhzan-i Afghani gives Niazi three sons, Bahi, Jam and Khaku, and the Khulasat al-Ansab places the tribe from Makhad as far as Dera Ismail Khan.
Tribe · Lodi
The Prangi are the Lodi line of Bahlol Lodi, traced in the Makhzan-i Afghani through Omar, Ishak and Malik Shahu. They once lived at Tank; Rose found them in Ludhiana, Rupar and northern Ambala.
Tribe · Lodi
The Sur are the Lodi line of Sher Shah, whose dynasty ruled Delhi from 1539 to 1555. They once lived at Tank and Rori and are now dispersed. The Makhzan-i Afghani traces Sher Shah's descent through Yunes and the Mahmudzai.
The genealogy follows the Makhzan-i Afghani and the Khulasat al-Ansab, as Caroe tabulates them. It records tradition: where sources place a tribe differently, the note above says so.
