HR According to enquiries made by me from Sard dr Muhammad Rezii
° Khan Reki of Mirjawa and other Baluchis
of Sarhad that I have come across during
with the exception of the Tamindani and
the Khashi all non-Baluch tribes, viz.,
the Ladizi, the Shamdan, the Kusha, the
Karamzai, and the Hashimzai have, since
the above account was written, been
driven out of Sarhad by the Baluch tribes.
The Baluchis have plundered their property, carried off their children, camels,
sheep, and cattle and subjected them to great highhandedness, in consequence
of which the non-Baluch tribes have all been compelled to leave their homes
and to migrate to Sistan. The remaining Khashis finding their life unbear
able are also gradually leaving for Sistan.
The following table gives the present estimated population of Sarhad with
names of the present tribal Chiefs, their head-quarters and other particulars
concerning each tribe :—
