MR. HUGES' REPORT NO. 47, DATED 8TH JANUARY 19U, ON THE
CONDliTlON OF COUNTRY BETWEEN J ASK AND BAHU.
J ask D istrict.
This district continues to be administered by Mir Mustafa Khan who is
very weak and has no influence, his brothers and sons do just as they please
not only in extorting money from their own people-but also m interfering with
Government servants.
Mir Burkat's subjects have also been treated w r ith little respect and fre
quently looted by these people. Mir Burkat out^ of regard for Mir Mustafa
Khan (for whom he has great regard), has refrained from taking measures but
there seems no doubt that in the event of the latter s death, Mr. Burkat will
take steps and punish them and take over the Jask district when it is hope
that there will be little, if any, trouble in this respect. ^ Mir Hoti of Jask, a
brother chief of Mir Mustafa Khan, has very little influence m the district
but gives us no trouble and as far as he is able does his best to look after our
interests.
B iyaban D istrict.
Mir Burkat Khan is still the Kalanter of this district. Nothing of im
portance has been reported. Mir Burkat is still disposed to be friendly with
us,
G aih D istrict.
The Sirdar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. of this district is Husain Khan. He is still very young and
impulsive. He is still trying to manage his own affairs after being badl^
served by his previous guardians Mohamed Khan of Eanuch and later by ms
uncle (Mudat Khan). Mir Din Mohamed Khan of Dashtyan still appears to
be the most influential chief and has apparently given up the idea ot taking a
hand in the ruling of Gaih district.
A certain amount of enmity existed between him and Ms brother chief
(Mir Mahmud Khan of Dashtyari) but to all intents and P^poscs outwardly
at least seem to hare patched up the peace. Mahmud Kban the elder (an
incidentally a relation) naturally feals the fact that Dm Mohamed should have
more influence than. him.
B int D istrict.
This district is under the administration of Yahya Khan. A great deal
of enmity still exists between him and his uncle Nagdi Khan, who, during
1919, shared the administration of this district.
