Chachar (or Chacher; Template:Lang-sd) is a Sindhi jat agricultural tribe. They are found in the Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan.[1]
In Sindh, majority of them are settled at Sukkur, Ghotki, Kashmore, Jacobabad and Larkana districts. While a minority at Nawabshah, Thatta, Tharparkar and Hyderabad.[1]
In Punjab, they are settled at Multan, Khushab, Toba Tek Singh, Sargodha and Sahiwal, while majority of them are found at Mithankot and Chachran Sharif. In Punjab, they speak Saraiki and some of them go by "Rana".[1]
Agriculturist Chachars own land in the area between Guddu Barrage and Thatta.[2] Chachars in the Sukkur area were involved in a feud with members of the Mahar tribe in the early years of the 21st century.[3]
The present chief of the Chachar tribe is Sardar Haji Khan Chachar.[4] He was formerly a two-time member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh.[1]
Mufti Abdul Wahab Chachar (born 1942) is a notable politician, scholar and writer of more than 30 books. He also runs a famous and historical monthly magzine "Shariat" from Sukkur since 1973.His stance on the national problems of Sindh is onerous and his fatwas are the most acceptable judgements in Sindh, which makes him " Faqeeh ul Sindh".[5]
Professor Dr. Abdul Qadir Chachar (son of Allama Mufti Abdul Wahab Chachar) has paid great contributions in the field of education and literature. He is also author of many books.
H.A. Rose writes in his book glossary of castes and tribes that Chachar (चाचड़), an agricultural clan, found in Shahpur and Multan, classed as Jats in the latter District. In Bahawalpur the Chachars claim Mughal origin and they produce tables tracing their descent from Timur whom they connect with Abbās, cousin of Husain, son of Ali. But tradition says that the Surar, Subhago, Silro and Chāchaṛ tribes were once slaves of Raja Bungā Rai, Raja of Amrkot, and that Jam Jhakhar redeemed them, and there is a saying :
- Surāṛ, Subhāgo, Sīlṛo, cliauthi Chāchaṛiā,
- Anda hā Jām Jhakhaṛe hā bāhnān Bunga Ra.
Meaning-"Surar, Subhago (or Subhaga), Silro (or Silra), (these three) and a fourth tribe, the Chacharwere the slaves of Bunga Rai ; it was Jam Jhakharwho brought them," (effecting their emancipation from Bunga Rai).
The Chachars have several septs : — Raj-de, the highest in status ; Rahmani, whose ancestors were khalifas of Ghaus Baha-ud-Din Zakariya : hence they are also called Shaikh-Rahmani, and some sanctity still attaches to the sept ; Narang, Jugana, Jhunjha, Chhutta, Gureja, Rukana, Kalra, Mudda, Duwani, Dohija, Gabrani, Muria, Kharyani and Zakriani or followers of Ghaus Baha-ud-Din Zakariya.
