Bampur. On Said KTian’s death, Islam Khan, tK#
guardian of his heir, Hussein Khan, was not strong
enough to keep the petty chiefs under his control,
and the Sherkhanzai influence is now limited to
Geh and Bint.
(c) Buledis, pride themselves on being the oldest family
in Perian Baluchistan. They have however lost
much of their land, and for many years have been
very weak. They are much intermarried with the
other tribes, more especially with the Sherkhanzais,
Said Khan’s mother having been a Buledi. The
chief Buledis now occupy Rask, Qasrqand and
Fanuch.
(2) Bampur .—Until the death of Bahram Khan, Baran- 1
tai, in 1021, the whole of Bampur, as well as Dizak and
the Sarbaz sub-district of Makran was under the influence
of the Baranzai family, who originally came from Dizak
and occupied the place.
The population of Bampur are for the most part Baluchis
belonging to various tribes, whose numbers it is dimcu to
estimate.
The people of Bampur town are of a mixed race, very
inferior to the ordinary Baluchi, and showing strong traces
of negro blood. They are rude and uncivilised in their
habits. They speak Makrani Baluchi.
Chief among the Baluchi tribes of Bampur are: *
(a) Baranzais, originally descended from Afghan
stock. They first settled in Jalk and the Dizak
valley, and gradually attained sufficient stiength
to overthrow the ruling Bazurgzadus. Under
Bahram Khan they became supreme over the whole
of Bampur. They are universally disliked owing
to the severity of Bahram Khan’s control. Bahram
Khan’s successor in Bampur is his brother, Mir
Ali Muhammad of Rusk. ' w
(b) Bit Baluch.—(See under Mahrdh). __ „
