The Mughals had invaded Sindh and dealt with Kalmati and Nizamani Baluch tribes, who had a powerful force of 20,000 [3]
Abu Fazl mentions them, ruling most of Sindh with other Baluch tribes, The Kalmat state was powerful enough to constantly raid Punjab during Akbar Reign [4]
According to Dr. Akhtar Baloch, Professor at University of Karachi, the Balochs migrated from Balochistan during the Little Ice Age and settled in Sindh and Punjab. The climate of Balochistan was very cold during this epoch and the region was inhabitable during the winter so the Baloch people migrated in waves and settled in Sindh and Punjab. [5]
