This tribe migrated from Baluchistan to Sindh Province of Current Pakistan,Rajasthan and Kashmir states of India. The reason for migration was the drought in mid 14th Century. They built new towns on the banks of river Indus also called Mehran. The literal meaning of Janwari is Jewel. These people were brave and fought for their home land. The People of Baluchistan and Sindh started calling these Chandio families as Janwari (Jewel of Land) because of the sacrifices in the war against aggressors. Glorious past
