Bhutto (clan)
Sindhi clan of Pakistan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bhutto (Sindhi: ڀُٽو, Urdu: بُھٹو) is a Sindhi Rajput tribe[1][2] found in Sindh, Pakistan. The Bhuttos along with Bhattis and other subclans are said to be a branch of the Bhati Rajputs.[3] They have been settled in Sindh for over two centuries, having migrated to the area from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India under Setho Khan Bhatti (Bhutto in Sindhi) in the seventeenth century.[4] According to other authors, the family migrated to Sindh (mostly in Larkana and Sehwan) from Sarsa in Hissar.[5] The politically influential Bhutto family of Pakistan hails from this clan.
