Lodi (Pashtun tribe)

Lodi
The list of Lodi sub-tribes

Lodi (Pashto; لودهی) is a Pashtun tribe from the Bettani group of Pashtuns. In mythical genealogy, they have also been considered as being part of the Bettani tribal confederacy. The Lodi tribe consists of many sub-tribes, most of whom are now settled in the Tank, Frontier Region Tank, Lakki Marwat and Dera Ismail Khan districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of modern-day Pakistan. These tribes were nomadic for most of their existence and migrated to their present-day locations by crossing the Gomal Pass throughout different times in history.

Two tribes among the Lodi ended up establishing their own empires: the Sur tribe established the Sur Empire and the Prangi tribe established the Lodi Dynasty.
