Lodi (Pashto: لودهی) is a historical Pashtun tribe and a prominent confederation of Afghans.[1]
The Lodi clans were nomadic for most of their existence and migrated to their present-day locations by crossing the Gomal Pass throughout different times in history.[2]
Two tribes among the Lodi ended up establishing their own empires, the Sur tribe established the Sur Empire[3] and the Prangi tribe established the Lodi Dynasty.[2]
