The Jadgal claim to have immigrated from Sind some ten generations ago...The hakomzat family of this region is of the same origin but is now closely intermarried with neighboring hakomzat families to the north and west, and its leading members no longer speak Jadgali... Second, intermarriage of the leading members of the hakomzat (whose family name is Sardarzai) with neighboring hakomzat on bilateral principles has provided them with good land in distinct neighboring ecological regions and with a following in these regions, for on the mother's side they now belong to the ruling hakomzat families there as well. The Jadgal, exclusive of the Sardarzai, are strictly and exclusively patrilineal.
