DUSHMAN ZIARI—
The Dushman Ziari are a wild, lawless tribe, a sub-division of the Chehar
Banicheh, Kuhgalu, though sometimes classed as Mamassani. They are
under the leadership of Surab Khan, and, together with the Tayibi, are in the
habit of attacking and looting caravans on the Lynch Eoad, the usual scenes
of their attacks being the Gardan-i-Barrak, Kaleh Madrasseh and Kikat
(Darreh Barfi). Their best known Chief was Muhammad Riza Khan, who
was executed by the then Governor of Shiraz, Prince Faridun Mirza, in
1840. In 1905 their Chief was As’adullah Khan.
The sub-divisions of the Dushman Ziari are as follows :
They number in all 400 families, and are capable of putting 600 fighting
men into the field, 400 of whom are armed with rifles. Of these rifles a large
percentage are Martinis, while the remainder are 5-shot rifles of German
make, and a few British -303. The latter are very highly prized and much
sought after, not only by this particular sub-tribe, but by the Kuhgalus in
general. In former times the Dushman Ziari used to number as many as
1,000 families, but, owing to the oppression of their chiefs, they have scat
tered, some to the Bakhtians and some to the Arabs in the Zaidan district.
They inhabit the country between Behbehan, Kazarun, Ardakan and Shu-
listan, and Kaleh Safid to Basht. This description gives wide limits and the
following boundaries (Ranking) may be more exact : Kaleh-i-Rak, Deh
Chul, Kuh-i-Shirin, Badum, Samarhum, Kaleh-i-Gul-i-Parish Kaft. Their
winter quarters are Kalat, Kaleh-i-Rak-i-Mehdi Khan, Dash-i-Mazadak ,
and summer quarters Chehar Rah, Chiftu, Kallal, Kuh-i-Min, Sar Kuhak,
Kuh-i-Surb, Gil Safid, Benar-i-Gurgir, Tang-i-Shikari, Dalun, Savakar.
