These Jutts are in much love with Shah latif, as much as so they memorize whole book of Shah jo Risalo, and make their children remember the whole book. In fact in older times, the boys and girls were not got married until they memorized the whole book. These jutts are mainly found in "Lāṛu" region of lower Sindh, the city "Jati" is named after them.

History
The Jats are one of the ancient Sindhi tribes, many Arab, Persian, and Greek historians have written about Jats, and ancient Hindu texts have also mentioned them. The Arab historians like Al-Biladuri and Ibn Hawqal mentions two Sindhi tribes "Zutts (Jats) and 'Meds".

The Sindhi Jats were pastoralists in lower Sindh, the original homeland of the Sindhi Jats was the lower Indus valley of Sindh. They were nomadic pastoralists who had migrated from the lower Indus river valley of Sindh to the northern parts of Sindh (including present-day Multan) and later to Punjab and other north Indian regions. Some of these Jats migrated as far as Iraq, and were referred as Zutts (Arabic: الزُّطِّ, romanized: Az-Zutt) by arabs in early Arab writings. During the Arab conquest of Sind in 711 AD, Jats underwent resettlement orchestrated by al-Ḥajāj to a comparable riverine setting in Lower Iraq, referred to as the Baṭāʾiḥ. Subsequently, both al-Walīd I and Yazīd I oversaw the relocation of additional Jat groups to northwestern Syria, accompanied by water buffaloes suitable for the region's warm coastal plains. Nevertheless, a notable portion of the Jat populace chose to remain in Iraq.

Jats were the first people of the Indian subcontinent who embraced Islam during the Prophet Muhammad era, they fought on the side of Ali in the Battle of the Camel in 656 under their chief, Ali B. Danur. The Jats of Arabia helped Muhammad bin Qasim in the conquest of Sind in the eighth century.
