Originally powerful and independent, but after many
vicissitudes is in complete subjection to the Shaikh of
Muhammerah to whom he pays his revenues. His
tribe together with the Bakhtiaris were responsible for
the insecurity of the Shusktar-Dmful road. They
have, under pressure, given up their ways to a large
extent. He is said formerly to have stood aloof from
acquaintance with Europeans ; at present his tendency
has disappeared or is well concealed. A broken
pathetic old man, sodden with opium, he seems to be
rapidly losing control over the mixed tribal elements
under him. He fled for refuge to Bakhtiaris when
Sheikh of Muhammerah attempted to arrest him in
1921 and has now been succeeded by his son Bandar.
