30 ADMINISTRATION EEPORT 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.
57. The principal matter calling for note is that there appearsTT^
time to have been a serious intention of placing the Governorship of L
in the hands of the Wali. The idea seems to have emanated from the S^rf 11
Mukarram after his troubles in Luristan last spring, and his idea wa
he himself should stay at Burujird, while the Wali should come to Khur
bad and be invested with the Governorship of Luristan proper with ^
freedom of action. It is understood that the Burujird Anjuman end ^
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. 's proposal, and that in Tehran both the Shah and the MaT
were favourable to it. Orders of appointment for the Wali were recei H
and were being despatched, and it is said that the Wali had begun muster
his forces. n £
At this point the coup d'etat took place in Tehran, 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
received his conge, and the envoy conveying the orders of appointment to the
Wali turned back. It was felt that under the circumstances fresh con
firmatory orders from Tehran were necessary and as these were not received
the matter was dropped. This statement of the case rests on good authority
but the Wali in mentioning the question of his projected appointment to
His Majesty's Consul merely stated that the negotiations had broken down
owing to his being unable to meet the conditions in regard to the Luristan
revenue demanded by the Persian Government.
58. At one time there was a question of hostilities between the Wall's
eldest son and Nazar Ali Khan, Fath-us-Sultan, but subsequently an under
standing was arrived at, and in December the relations of the Wali and Nazar
Ali Khan were officially described as friendly.
59. At the end of the year the sections of the Sagwand who have through
out the year caused trouble in the Dizful district, from uncertain motives
entered into negotiations for taking up their quarters in eastern Pusht-i-Kuh
and actually crossed the Kerkha.
60. The fact of the Consul's journey through Pusht-i-Kuh in November
and December has already been noted. The route followed was the most
direct one via Shalakush to Deh Bala and thence to Kunjiancham. Trouble
was experienced by the stealing of a horse by followers of Daud Khan, after
wards recovered. Considerable difficulty was also found in obtaining
es P ecia 1 11 3 r g r am and fodder, and at some parts the track was so
dimcult as to make accidents to animals probable, though only one slight one
occurred. At Dum Qalamun (on the Ab-i-Kunjiancham and near the dis
puted Badarai border) the W^ali's camp was reached. Three days were
spent with the Wall and several interviews took place. The only matter
seriously discussed was that of Luristan road and reference to the Wali's
views thereon has already been made.
t S ^ one was f ? ie ? dl y anc ^ f r ^ n k. His regime is much more
^unsn than that of the Bakhtiaris which in externals shows many sisrns of
Persian influence. b
The difterence in essential methods is probably nil, and if his court
appears less civilised this defect is more than compensated for by the fact
• ^2 i 6 C ?; Se 0: ^ controlling power is invested in a single
inaividual, whose authority in the present case appears to be very effective.
In neither case does the exercise of authority appear to proceed much beyond
tne collection of revenue and the mustering of forces when required for
offence or defence. H
. . himself is a young man and seems to be well endowed with
intelligence. i,
62 ' T ] le acquaintance was made of the Wali's eldest son Amanullah
Unan, and another Ghulam Shah (his second son). The former was not
unprepossessing and in type took after his father; the latter was a fat
p egmatic youth who looked out of place in a Lur camp. As far as is
known the rest of the Wali's progeny are mere children.
It is hoped to make Pusht-i-Kuh the subject of a separate report.
