Kain,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign Department, Calcutta*
I have the honour to submit, herewith, a note on the Kain-Afghan frontier
compiled from information obtained during my tours in the Kamat last
summer.
Copies are being sent to His Britannic Majesty’s Minister at Tehran, and
to His Britannic Majesty’s Consul-General at Meshed.
NOTE OF THE KAIN-AFGHAN FRONTIER.
^Frontier Niabats.
The Frontier Niabats, commencing from the south, are those of
(1) Duroh, (2) Julga {Sunni Khana and Tabas, and (3) Zirkuh.
Dtjroh and Lahnu,
Dnroh and Lahnu with a large number of Kalatas were included in
Julga Sunni Khana in Ahmad Shah’s time. As far as I can gather, the
district became subject to the Amirs of Kain some years before the remainder
of Sunni Khana. The latter event, which will be noted under its proper head,
was finally brought about during the reign of Fateh Ali Shah.
The Duroh Naibship has, with frequent lapses, been in the family of the
present Naib, Khwaja Jan Muhammad, for many years. This family of
Khwajas originally came from Bokhara, their descent being as under:—

The Naib is given an assignment on the revenues of Duroh for the main'
tenance of six sowars and iowv jambazes.
There is a Customs and Passport Mirza at Duroh (Sayad Asadulla Khan),
who at the present time is under the Mirza at Awaz as regards Customs, and
under the Postmaster at Birjand as regards Passports. He has two sowars to
assist him.
The authorized route for caravans across the Frontier are thus desciibed
in a statement recently sent me by the Director-General in Khorasan.
“ The route from Kandahar and Farah to Birjand by Damdam (Afghan)
Chah-i-Sagak, Chashma-i-Shutaran, Duroh.”
In May last, a dispute between the Customs Mirza and the people of
Duroh was reported in which blows were exchanged. No Afghans were
concerned in the matter, and the affair is without significance.
