Affairs of the districts east of Jashk, 1872—1896.
Fragmentary information only is available in regard to events in the
districts to the east of Jashk during the period following the appro
priation of Chahbar by Persia; and the events themselves were confused
and of no great significance.
In 1881, the first year of which there is anything to relate; Gaili ;
including the coastal tract known as Qiblah, seems to have been held
by a chief named Mir Hoti; Qasrkand^ to which Sarbaz was attached;
by one Mir Mauladad, son of Jan Muhammad; Dashtyari, now comprise
ing Chahbar, by Mir Din Muhammad; and Bahu by Mir Muhammad
Ali. The chief feature of the political situation was an intense enmity
between Mir Din Muhammad of Dashtyari and 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. Husain Khan,
a man of influence in Gaih, favoured by Sartip Ibrahim Khan ; Governor
of Bampur ; whose lieutenant he had been at the capture of Chahbar.
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. Hussain Khan had a brother, Chakar Khan, also a person of some
consequence, who resided at Fanoch. Mir Mauladad of Qasrkand,
having married a daughter of Mir Din Muhammad, belonged to his
faction; and there was therefore enmity between Husain Khan and
Mauladad also.
Apparently in 1881 Sartip Ibrahim Khan, who had a grudge against
Mir Din Muhammad on account of having failed to seize him and extort
money from him, as he had done at one time or another to most of the
other local chiefs, instigated 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. Husain Khan to invade Dashtyaii;
which he did, nothing loath; and Mir Din Muhammad sought safety
in flight. 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. Husain Khan was helped in his operations by 'Abdullah
Khan, a son of Din Muhammad, who had been on bad terms with his
father for many years and consequently without means of subsistence;
this individual indicated to Husain Khan the people of the country f^ 0111
whom money could best be wrung. Husain Khan, on returning to the
interior, installed ^Abdullah Khan as Deputy Governor of Chahbai J
the latter could not maintain order in the town or its environs; aI1( ^ J 118
manners were offensive and his charges exorbitant, especially to British
Indian traders. On the departure of Husain Khan, Mir Din Muhammad
returned to Dashtyari and resumed his position as chief without opposi'
tion, Abdullah Khan simultaneously disappearing from Chahbar.
British Indian subjects being among the victims of Husain Khan 6
rapacity, the raid on Dashtyari led to representations by Her Britannic
