There is a tribal dispute among the three grandsons of the tribal cheif Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah. The three grandsons would be Mir Qasim Hidayatullah,Mir Abbas Hidayatullah and Mir Arshad Hidayatullah. Mir Abass settled in Shikarpur,where as Mir Arshad and Mir Qasim settled in Mirpur.

The tribe has received military honor and respect for the sacrifices they made fighting for Pakistan. Their Tribe is almost always recognized as the royal family of Sindh.

The tribal chief Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah had received the title of Knighthood during British rule. He decided to leave all that honor for the independence of Pakistan.
