Jamot, Samma, Sammat, Jam
This article says Samma is a division of Jamot. Is this correct? If so, is Abro a division of Samma or of Jamot? Aymatth2 (talk) 13:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC) Samma are title as Jam means Sardar or Chief. Jamot is the titular name of Samma. Jamot are the descendents of Samma, Abro is also descendent of Samma tribe or Sammat.--Jogi don (talk) 11:20, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

 * I am thinking that this article should be redirected to the dynasty article. I am struggling to find any decent sources that even mention this community as a modern-day tribe - everything seems to relate to 700 years ago etc. The problem is that ancient dynasties do not always in fact connect to modern tribes, except in the mythology of the modern tribes themselves. A classic is the Yadav vs Yadava thing; another is the Vanniyar, whose convoluted myth of origin connects them to the Kodava even though all academic sources say otherwise. - Sitush (talk) 11:28, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Dear Satush, You rightly said that Samma tribe may be 700 years old,now Samma tribe also referred as SAMMAT. the Samma tribe now is dispersed into many sub-castes which are now got full status of caste, such as Unar (This was a person name whose descendant are called Unar caste/tribe.), Abro, Rajpar, Bhatti, Buriro, Chutta, Jadeja, Junejo, Jokhio, Narejo, Lakhan. "Two main Rajput tribes of Sind are: the Samma, a branch of the Yadav Rajputs who inhabit the eastern and lower Sind and Bahawalpur; and the Sumra who, according to the 1907 edition of the Gazetteer are a branch of the Parwar Rajputs. Among others are the Bhuttos, Bhattis, Lakha, Sahetas, Lohanas, Mohano, Dahars, Indhar, Chachar, Dhareja, Rathors, Dakhan, Langah etc.4 The Mohano tribe is spread over Makran, Sind and southern Punjab. They are also identified with the ‘Mallah’ of the Punjab and both have in common a sub-section called Manjari. All these, old Sindhi tribes are known under the common nomenclature of Sammat." see this paragraph in | THis site and this site | World Public Library. and this | origin of SAMMAT .--Jogi don (talk) 06:35, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Samma are originally Lohana, an ancient kshatriya
Accroding to [Chachnama]] there was a powerful king name Agham Lohana. there were many subtiribe of Lohanas like Lakha, Samma, Sahata, Kotak, Channa(Chhanna) and many more mentioned in the Chachnama.] In chachnama Wazír Siyákar replied in the presence of Mókah Basáyeh: “In the reign of Rái Chach the Lúhánahs, that is, the Lákháhs and the Sammáhs. Also historians Chintaman Vinayak Vaidya confirmed that the Sammas were Lohanas and originally kshatriya.]. That's why the Sammas were belong to Lohanas and after arab they established their kingdom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.229.29.74 (talk) 06:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Samma is Not MuslimJat
Samma are originally Muslim Sandhi Muslim (talk) 06:43, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Origin and Establishment
According to Chachnama, Samma was a branch of Lohana tribe. Ala al-Din Khiljl (1296-1316) mounted a number of campaigns in the region battling the Sumra princes whose cycle of capitulation/rebellion could be charted exactly to the perceived military stress on the metropole. Yet, the Delhi Sultans and their governor rarely resorted to invading Sumra held territories - relying, instead, on alliances with tribal elite and local power struggles. Against the Sumras, Khiljl advanced the cause of the Lohana tribe of Samma. The conflict guaranteed a rolling supply of princes and tribal chiefs wanting alliances with the center. The tussle for dominance between the Sumras and the Samma lasted until the reign of Firuz Shah Tughluq (1351- 1388), when the Jam emirs of Samma were finally able to end Sumra dominance, taking over lower Sindh.

Lead reference
The references added in the lead written by Sigrid-Hellbusch seems to have a very bad review here [] on page 938 first-two para, and it doesn't look like in the reference writer is saying the lines that has been added here, most writers seems to have taken a very ambiguous stance.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 17 April 2024
Admin @Daniel Case, Please remove unsourced claims. The Sammas are also said to be the descendants of Samba son of Shree Krishna. it is factually wrong no historical inscription/book/ records says any connection between Muslim sammas and Hindu god Krishna. 2409:4085:8E8D:162F:0:0:8809:2D11 (talk) 09:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
