40 ADMINISTKATION BEPOET OF THE PERSIAN GULF The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. POLITICAL RESIDENCY An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
The Muin's proposals were not very precise, but after due consideration
it was not considered advisable to recommend the Transport Company t
attempt to enter into any form of partnership with him.
66. In autumn a scheme of some magnitude for the opening of a trade
route between Ahwaz, Dizful and Krrmanshah was submitted by jjj 8
Majesty's Consul at Kermanshah, \\hich will no doubt receive full mention
in the Political Report of that officer.,
Pusht-i-Ktjh.
67. The internal history of the Pusht-i-Kuh during the year appears
to have been marked by no important events. On the other hand its external
affairs have been the subject of a considerable body of popular rumour.
It appears tolerably certain that in the hot weather the Wali had an engage-
. naent on the frontier with some Turkish troops, whom he defeated with some eclat
In January he seems to have taken part in a general scheme for the dis.
ciplining of the tribes of Luristan, sanctioned by the Persian Government.
The Wali joined forces with the Beni Lam of Sheikh Gadhban, and fell
on the Sagwand in the country between Diz and Karkha rivers and routed
them plundering much of their property. The professed intention was, it is
understood, to punish the Sagwand for not obeying the Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Mukarram's
summons to come up-country. The Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Mukarram was himself to tackle
the Dirakwand, but it is doubtful whether he ever quitted Khurramabad, and
it is certain that nothing was accomplished. With the plundering of this
section of the Sagwand, the scheme apparently died out.
^ Again in February circumstantial accounts were current of the Wali's
having attacked, whether with or without provocation being unknown, some
Arab subjects of the Turks, and of his having put a large number of them
to the sword. Still later he is said to have cut up a Turkish force, the composi
tion of which is not stated.
The latest rumour is that he has fallen out wath Sheikh Gadhban, with
whom he has marriage relations and with whom some sort of working alliance
appears to have existed for some time.
. On various occasions during the year letters have been received from
Kaid Khani, the Wali's Agent, reiterating the Wali's desire to make the
personal acquaintance of the Vice-Consul. Up to the present, however, it
has not been found possible to pay a visit to Pusht-i-Kuh.
