Sangur are a tribe of the Jadgal people that is scattered from the Iranian Makran to Lasbela in Pakistan. They claim affinity with the Jokhio tribe of Sindh.

Description

[edit]

According to their tradition, they migrated from Sindh towards Kalat, Balochistan, where they remained and settled. They were later forced to migrate to Makran likely due to the Brahui-Jadgal war of the fifteenth century. Sangurs are nomadic, and known for camel breeding, flock owning and as agriculturalists.[1][2]
