Under the influence of this growing feeling, the character
of the border plunderers has been changed; whole tribes,
within and without our border, amounting to more than
twenty thousand souls, have totally abandoned their former
predatory habits, and taken to peaceable pursuits.
Our Jekranees and Doombkees, formerly the wildest of
the border riders, are now the most honest and industrious
people in all Sind.
Every man of the Sind Irregular Horse is looked on and
treated as a friend by all the country-folk. In truth, the
moral power of their bold and kindly bearing and proceed
ings has spread far and wide through the country, and
effected what no mere force would have done. Even the
Murrees, who have not felt our physical force much, are
fast coming under this influence, and are beginning to feel
themselves disreputable.
If the irritation and excitement to evil practices, caused
bv the incursions of our Muzzarees, and other proceedings
practised and permitted elsewhere, do not interfere with the
full development of the causes now at work on our border,
it seems to me certain that perfect peace and quiet will be
established among all the tribes in hill and plain, whose
sole or chief pursuits have hitherto been robbery and
murder.—(1854.)
