Copy oi a letter Mo. C/85, dated the 26th February 1928, from
the Political A^ent, Bahrain, tc the Secretary to the Political
Resident in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, Bashire .
I have the honour to refer to my telegram Mo. 76,
dated the 2brd instant.
2. Several men of the Hindu community in Bahrain
cane to see me during the afternoon of Thursday,2brd
February, to inform me that they had just received a
communication from their caste men in Qatif to say that
they had been given eight days’ time, of which two had
already expired, tc close their accounts, collect out
standings and leave Qatif. My informants had no
further information to give and enquired whether any
political measure inspired this order. 1 replied that
1 knew of none. The Bunniahs did not press the matter.
I think they are genuinely mystified by the order. Mr.
Ghanshamdas has today informed me that the Bunniahs
have been given an extension of time in Qatif, up to one
month. There are only two firms in Qatif,probably four
individuals and possibly some servants.
b. In accordance with the precedent of 1925 (see
Captain Mali am's Mo. 6b, dated 13th July) I have taken
no action except to ask the Bahrain Customs authorities
not to take immediate steps to recover full rates on the
re-export cargo lying in Bahrain awaiting shipment to
Qatif.
4. In 1925 the expulsion of Bunniahs appears to
have been due to the rapacity of Bin Baud’s Governor who
adopted this means of squeezing them. In a recent case
before me, it can© out that Lalchand the Bunniah who was
alleged to have defamed in Qatif certain Arabs, paid
Rs.1100/- cash and gave presents worth Rs.1257-5-0 as
Khidam
