The first and current Caliph,Abul Asaf Farhad of the Farhadi Dynasty claims descent from Sardar Khafif Soomro,the first king of the Sindhi Soomra dynasty,and the saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar,also known as 'Jhulelal'.

However,there is no evidence that this is true.Writings show that the Farhads were a low-caste Hindu community who converted to Islam in the 16th century.Through their conversion,they became rich and served in the court of the Mughals.Akbar Asaf Farhad, father of the Caliph Abul Asaf Farhad,was popular with the Mughals and continued to be popular with the leaders when the British invaded in 1843.But he was against the British and so he and Abul fought in the Revolt of 1857.It was at this time when Akbar died.But Abul survived and carried on his father's popularity.

In 1859,popularity was able to get him to the top and replace anarchy with his rule as Caliph.

He was helpless during Gujarat's vassalisation and did not show any resistance thanks to pressure.

The successor of Abul Asaf Farhad is unknown.Still in his early thrities,he has only recently announced his marriage to Gujarati noblewoman Vasundhara Patel in order to strengthen ties with his nation's overlord.
