Muslim clan found in Pakistan
Daudpotra or Daudputra (literally “Sons of Daud”) is a Punjabi[1] and Sindhi[2] Muslim clan found in the south Punjab and north-western Sindh provinces of Pakistan. The Nawabs of Bahawalpur belonged to this clan.
Origins[edit]
Daudpotras claim to be descendants of Abbasid
Caliphs of Egypt. According to this legend, a certain “Sultan Ahmad II Abbasi”, son of Shah Muzammil of Egypt, came to Sindh from Egypt with his Arab followers in 1370. However, none of these figures are historically known to exist[a] and the Encyclopaedia of Islam concludes this genealogy to be fictitious, instead stating Daudpotras to be of “purely indigenous” origins.[3] All that is certain is that their ancestor, Daud Khan, was a Julaha in 18th century Sindh.[4]
