Qaimkhani (also spelled Qayam Khani, Qaim Khani or as Kaimkhani) is a Muslim community of India. Most of them migrated to the southern part of Sindh in Pakistan after partition, where they are called Muhajir. Muhajir were notable for ruling the Fatehpur and Jhunjhunu regions of Rajasthan from the 1300s to the 1700s.[1][2]

History

They claime to be descended from Chauhan Rajputs who converted from Hinduism to Islam in the 14th century during the reign of Firuz Shah Tughlaq.[3][4] As also stated by the historian Dirk H. A. Kolff that the Qaimkhanis have Turkic origins.[5]

They ruled between 1384 and 1731 with Fatehpur, Rajasthan as the capital, Kayamkhanis ruled in Alipura, Fatehpur, Jhunjhunu and Singhana.[6][need quotation to verify]
