Mahar (Urdu: مھر) is a Sindhi and Punjabi tribe of Araeen or Arain origin, Pakistan.
Mahar is a caste of people pre-dominant in the northern plains of Sindh province of Pakistan. Professions adopted by this caste are politics, business and Landlordism etc. Mehars / Arains are most famous for cultivating vegetables. Mehar Arains are very hard working people. Mehars are considered to be the descendants of vegetable vendors of Pre-Partition Eastern Punjab. The government alloted them huge lands in Sindh to overcome vegetable deficiency and even today vegetable markets throughout Punjab and Sindh are controlled By Araeens of Mehar and Choudhary clans.
Surnames such as Choudhary, Mian etc. are also written with their names however this is somehow different than Choudhary Jutts or Choudhary Gujjars and silmilarly Mian Araeens are unrelated to Mian Kashmiris.
