Mukeri, also known as Makrani, is a Muslim community and subcaste of the Sheikh caste primarily found in parts of India, Pakistan, and historically across the western Indian subcontinent. Traditionally, they have been associated with trade and transport, particularly in timber, grain, and cattle. The community traces its origins to Arab settlers, with a historical presence in the Makran region of present-day southern Balochistan, Iran, and Pakistan.
