History
Muhammad Hasni's original home land is Iran. In Persian language its original pronunciation is Mamasani. There is a city in Iran with this name called Mamasani County. Muhammad Hasni's are the oldest senior citizens in Iran. They also had a war with the forces of Alexander the Great .
Oliver St John, an administrator in British India, who surveyed the Perso-Kelat frontier in the 1870s, describes interactions with the Muhammad Hasni (he refers to them as Mamasanis). Evidently, they were subjected to the rule of the Khan of Kalat; St John also records an instance of a blood feud between Mamasanis and Nushirwanis.[1]
There are various Muhammad Hasni clans in Iran, like Lar Muhammad Hasni, Sistani Muhammad Hasni, Baloch Muhammad Hasni, Kurd Muhammad Hasni and Brahui Muhammad Hasni. There are also sub tribes in these clans. Sir Bandi, Sherki, Jur, Bazi, Jahan, Tegh, Bamadi, Noori, Perri and Najfi are the sub tribes of Sistani Muhammad Hasni. Baloch and Brahui Muhammad Hasni speak Balochi and Brahui both. They live in Pakistan and south of Afghanistan.
