these small districts formed part of the c< Kuhistan and not of Herat or
Sabzawar. The existence of the Naomed desert stretching all along the Kain
frontier affords an obvions physical reason why this should be so.
The Amirs of Kain belong to the Arab tribe of Khuzaima that settled
in Khorasan about the time of the Caliph Haroun-ul-Raschid. The local
tradition is that the first rulers of this tribe were three brothers, Mir Muham
mad (Mir Gooch), Mir Mahmud and Mir Hussein, who settled in the Kuh-i-
baran. In the days of Mamun, the Caliph’s son, Kain was governed by Tahir-
ul-Yomenin of this tribe whose descendants afterwards for some generations
ruled Khorasan,
The present ruling family obtained the government of Kain in Saffavian
times about the year 1705.
