Malik Sohrab Dodai was a son of Doda

Punjab) in the late 15th century with his father Mir Doda Khan at the behest of the Langah dynasty. He was accompanied by his sons, Ghazi Khan, Fateh Khan, and Ismail Khan.[2]

This move is seen as the establishment of Baloch presence in the Derajat region, as Dodai was followed by fellow Baloch mercenaries. Shah Hussain of Langah dynasty encouraged them by offering them lands extending from Kot Kehor (Karor Lal Esan) to Dhankot (present-day Muzaffargarh).[3]
