Mughals have too many branches and this book describe only 125 tribes of Mughals. This book tells that “Douldai “is a tribe of Mughals. On Page no. 93 this tribe has been described. Sultan Abu Saeed Khan Bozanjari was a king of Iran and Horasa. Ameer Behrma and his son Ameer Mohammad Douldai had distinction in his kingdom.

Ameer Hafiz Douldai, Hafiz Mohammad and Tahir Douldai have had good attribution toward Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur. They fought against Uzbeks and died in that battle. In Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur regime another Douldai Ameer Sultan Mahmood has also been discussed. When Babar attacked against Abrahim Lodi Sultan Mahmood was also fighting from his side.
