Mr. F Hughes' report No. 2, dated the 15th January 1920 on the condition of
the country between Jask and Gwadur.
B iyaba.n D istrict.
Mir Burkat has been Kalantur of this district throughout the year. A
considerable amount of ill-feeling still exists between the Tahirzais and the
Mirs of Biyaban owing to blood feuds. Mir Burkat stated the former were
quite willing to have the matter referred to Shariat, but that it was necessary
that some high official should be present to enforce the decision. This does
not seem to have been arranged for, as settlement has not yet been arrived at.
About four months ago, a large number of slaves came in from Bashkard
and took refuge within the Jask piquet line; they complained bitterly of
brutal treatment by their masters Gul Mohamed and others. In November
two out of a party of them (who had gone out to obtain foodstuffs), were
murdered in cold blood whilst asleep at Ushdan After this, some of them Volun
tarily returned to their masters, the others being sent away from Jask to be
manumitted. Although Mir Burkat had offered to look after them, and, if
possible, to arrange matters amicably no reason was seen why this should be
done.
At about the same timp, report was received that some of Mirza Khan's
men had come into Sarnai and looted cattle belonging to one Abdul flusain of
Marz. In affray which took place, when latter attempted to recover the
animals, two notables of Rudbar named Haji Murad and Husain Ali are said
to have been killed. It was further reported that Mirza Khan intended coming
to Bashkard to seek revenge. Mir Burkat on hearing this is reported to have
collected a force and asked the chiefs of Jask district to accompany him to
try and effect a settlement with Mirza Khan, or to protect and assist Abdul
Husain. This was put forward by Mir Burkat as an excuse for not being
able to meet the Deputy
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
w r ho wished to see him on urgent
business at Jask.
Gul Mohamed of Bashkard (owner of slaves mentioned previously) was
reported to have threatened to damage our lines and ill-treat lineguards, if
slaves were not returned, but did not carry out his threats.
Nothing else of importance has occurred in this district during the year.
Jask District.
The district continues to be administered by Mir Mustafa Khan, who
iiowe^ er, has little or no influence, his brother and sons doing just as they
please, even to the extent of committing hostile acts towards us, such as
looting of dhows when driven ashore in bad weather. They openly defy even
Mir Burkat by looting his subjects when opportunity offers, relying on Mustafa
Khan to dissuade Mir Burkat from punishing them for such offences.
Mir Hoti of Jask has very little influence in the district, gives us no
trouble, and does his best to look to our interests in the place.
