.It was established by Syed Jamal-ud-deen Zaidi who is also known as Shah Maqdoom sahab in near around 1192 AD.Shah Jamal-ud-deen was a spiritual person i.e. a soofi. He came to India via Afghanistan when Muhammad Ghauri attacked India. His grave is situated just beside the Imam bargah Kala Gharbi, the main centre of azadari in Sirsi.It is mainly populated by Shia Muslims.
Another major Sayyid family of Sirsi recognizes Syed Ali Arab Naqvi as their patriarch. According to the family legend, Syed Ali Arab Naqvi migrated to Sirsi from Naishapur, Khorasan Province, Iran in 632 AH (1236 AD). His son, Syed Zaid Kalan Naqvi was married to Dada Shah Maqdoom Sahab's daughter. According to the nineteenth century book "Zain ul Mutaqeen", a Royal decree of the Mogul Emperor Aurangzeb dated 1680 CE, preserved in The Asifia Archives of The Nizam of Hyderabad, describes the name of a descendant of Syed Ali Arab Naqvi as "Nawab Syed Alam Ali". The Estate (Jageer) granted by way of this Royal decree was seated in Sirsi, and included the surrounding villages of Qasimpur, Katoni, Alipur, Baripur and Nasirpur. Most of these land grants were eventually confiscated by the British after the Indian Mutiny of 1857 CE.
Y-DNA testing has been conducted on members of this Naqvi family. The absence of 12/12 Y DNA haplotype matches in the non-Muslim population of India lends support to the family legend that this Naqvi family immigrated to India in recent times. Deep clade testing confirms that this family belongs to Y haplogroup J2, the most common haplogroup among Sadat of Iran. This 12 marker haplotype has also been found in a significant percentage of the general Iraqi population and some Ashkenazi Jewish populations.
