While a minority at Nawabshah, Thatta, Tharparkar and Hyderabad.[2]InPunjab, they are settled at Multan, Khushab, Toba Tek Singh, Sargodha and Sahiwal, while majority of them are found at Mithankot and Chachran Sharif. In Punjab, they speak Saraiki and some of them go by "Rana".[2] Agriculturist Chachars own land in the area between Guddu Barrage and Thatta.[3] Chachars in the Sukkur area were involved in a feud with members of the Mahar tribe in the early years of the 21st century.[4]

The present chief of the Chachar tribe is Sardar Haji Khan Chachar.[5] He was formerly a two-time member of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh.[2]

He also runs a famous and historical monthly magazine "Shariat" from Sukkur since 1973.His stance on the national problems of Sindh is onerous and his fatwas are the most acceptable judgements in Sindh, which makes him " Faqeeh ul Sindh".[6]
