forced to surrender. The Government of India, anxious to avoid involving them
selves in any way with the Wahabis, turned a blind eye so far as possible to Wahabi
responsibility (as to the degree of which there is room for difference of opinion) for
the activities of the pirates and gave stringent instructions to the 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.
to avoid involving himself in any way with the W ahabi power.
19. The Wahabi Lieutenant in Baraimi, Syed bin Mutlak, proceeded to Nejd in
1813, whereupon his successor, Tbn Azdakah, was murdered by the Beni Yas of
Dhafrah. On Syed bin Mutlak's return later in the same year, he was himself

have been more independent of Wahabi influence than the Jowasimis, on two
occasions combined with Muscat against the \\ aha bis.
In the autumn of 1814 the Wahabi Amir associated himself with explanations

agreement, immediately violated by the Jowasimis, was reached in October 1814.
Bahrein and the Wahabis, 1804-1818.
20. The Wahabis assisted the Sheikhs to regain possession of Bahrein from
Muscat in 1801, but the islands thereupon came under the influence of the Wahabi
Amir, to whom they offered tribute in 1803, and with whom they co-operated in
that year and again in 1805 against Muscat. The Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India.

21. In 1803 Koweit, like the rest of the coast, was under Wahabi control, and
in that year it assisted the Wahabi Amir in an expedition against Muscat. In
1805 the Sheikh described himself as subject to the Wahabis. But by 1808
Koweit was strong enough to decline to respond to a further appeal for assistance;
a Wahabi attack was driven off in 1809, and the Sheikh of Koweit appears
thenceforward to have remained relatively free of Wahabi influence.

expelled by Muscat in the latter year and the authority of Bahrein re-established.
In 1816, however, Sheikh Rahmah bin Jabir of Khor Hassan and Damman sided
with Muscat against the Wahabis and the Sheikh of Bahrein.

Lor. 1,1069. 23. In 1804 Mehemet Ali was appointed Viceroy of Egypt, chiefly in order that
he might recover the Hejaz for Turkey. From 1804 to 1810 he concerted his
plans for achieving this object. Between 1810 and 1815 he reconquered the Hejaz
and drove the Wahabi Amirs back into Nejd. In 1815 his lieutenants advanced
into Qasim, and later in the year the Wahabis were severely defeated, submitted to

ratify the understanding reached, and w T as content with nothing less than the
complete subjection of the Wahabi Amirs. x \n offer to accept an Egyptian
Governor of Nejd and to pay tribute was rejected ; Deriyah was invested, reduced
and destroyed in September 1818 ; and the Wahabi Amir was taken prisoner, sent to
Cairo, and executed at Constantinople. His four brothers were sent to Cairo as
prisoners. The Wahabi power was, for the time being, completely destroyed, and
Turkish (or rather Egyptian) control re-established over Nejd, Hasa, and the Hasa
coastal area in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
