Ghazi Khan (Urdu: غازی خان میرانی) was son of Haji Khan Mirani, a Baloch chieftain who moved to Multan in the late 15th century at the behest of the Langah Sultanate. He was accompanied by his son, Ghazi Khan Mirani.[1]
The Derajat had its existence as an historical area to the Baloch immigration in the fifteenth century. Sultan Husain, the Langah dynasty's Sultan of Multan, being unable to hold his trans-Indus possessions, called in Baloch mercenaries, and assigned these territories to Haji Khan.
