As I,Manzoor Alam Kolachi,being one of the Kolachi tribe, I have heard from my forefathers that
Mai Kolachi, an old lady migrated with her family from
Kulanch to the area presently known as
Karachi.The old name of
Karachi was
Kolachi-jo-Goth which means Village of Kolachi. Kolachi tribe migrated to different places from
Kulanch.On the invitation of Taj Muhammad Langah, the then Ruler of
Multan, three families of
Baloch tribes migrated to his area.Taj Muhammad Langah invited
Baloch families to act as buffer between the people of
Multan and
Wazir Tribe of
Pashtuns,who frequently tresspassed his area. Those who migrated along with their families were Haji Khan Mirlani who settled in the area presently known as
Dera Ghazi Khan in
Punjab,
Pakistan;Ismail Khan Hot who settled in the area presently known as
Dear Ismail Khan in the
N.W.F.P,
Pakistan; and the third was Fateh Khan Kolachi who settled in area known as Dera Fateh Khan Kolachi which was inundated by River Indus with the passage of time.
Kolachis had been ruling the area and Tehsil
Kulachi,in
N.W.F.P,
Pakistan bears witness to their rule. Kolachi tribe while in their rule over the area had fights with
Sikhs,the British forces, and with the
Wazirs. After losing a fight with the
Gandapur, a
Wazir Tribe, they lost control over the area and dispersed into the lower lands of
Dera Ghazi Khan. Later on, when a
Baloch tribe of
Talpurs from
Tibi Talpur,
Punjab,
Pakistan took control over
Sindh, many
Baloch families including Kolachi families relocated to
Sindh. Presently Kolachi tribe concentrates in
Ghotki and
Mirpur Mathelo in
SindhPakistan. Few families live in Larkana, Khairpur,Karachi,and Sibi in Balochistan. Three Kolachi families have migrated to
Canada and live in
Windsor and
Toronto,
Ontario.
