It has been shown above how Mir Chakur arrived at Multan, and how the rivalry
arose between the Rinds and the Dodais. The legendary lore deals with this
subject also, and it is stated that Chakur joined Humayun after wards on his
march to Dehli, and at last settled down at Satgarha (in the Montgomery Districtof the Panjab). His tomb still exists there, and there is a considerable Rind
settlement in the neighbourhood. In the Tarikh-i-Sher Shah of ‘Abbas Khan, a
valuable authority, we find Chakur Rind established at Satgarha in Sher Shah’s
time,
1 and the Baloches in possession of the whole Multan country, from which
Sher Shah expelled them. It is evident that they would have been on this accountdisposed to join Humayun in his expedition to recover his kingdom from the
Afghans, and although there is no historical evidence of the fact, the legend
makes it very probable that they did so.
