of Lirawi, and their district. Lirawl to day is practically part and parcel
of Haiat Daud.
Haidar Khan, who is not a fighting Khan, wields influence, by his
sagacity and powerful position, over the Khans of Shabankareh and Angall
as well, while he enjoys cordial relations with the Kashkuli Khans, his neigh
bours across the mountains.
The Khans for many years have been almost independent of the Cen'ral
and Provincial Governments : the Governor of the Gulf Ports never meddles
with the districts, nor sends soldiers or officials there, and it would be be
yond his power at the present time to dismiss or change the Khans. Their
relations with British officials and tradres have been very friendly for some
years.
Armed forces .—The armed forces at the disposal of Haidar Khan are
estimated at 1,500 to 2,000 tufanjchls in normal times. In May 1909 Hai
dar Khan despatched some 400 armed men to Bushire to assist the Daria
Beg! in his expedition to Tangistan. Haidar Khan can also dispose of the
armed forces of Bud Hilleh, some 700 tufangchis, as well as contingents from
Ganaweh and Lirawl, numbers unknown. Haidar Khan afforded courageous
personal assistance to the British Resident, and “H.M.S. Highflyer,” in
arresting pirates at Ganaweh in 1908.
The districts of Haiat Daud and Rudhilleh have for many years enjoyed
the greatest tranquillity.
