* Pasand Khan was formerly a noted highway robbei, but since the Persian reign in Seistan in order to check
his raiding propensities he was married to a sister of, Mir Beg ( Pishkidmat of the Hasmat-ul-Mulk ) and was
given Sehkuha cn revenue contract. Although he was an orthodox Sunni, when a robber, yet he, soon after appoint
ment to Sehkuha, became a convert to Shiaism to please the Hashmut-ul-Mulk ( he used to shoot the camels and
burn them).—( Bratier-Creagh ).
As head of the Gurgij tribe and an influential man he ( Pasand Khan ) received 300 iumans a year from the
Government to keep the Baluch quiet.— (S'. D. Napier.)
He ( Pasand Khan ) is not a Seistani but a Baluch, the head of the Gurgij tribe, a nomad race said to number
about 1,000 families scattered between Gudar-Shah and Band-i-Seistan some in Afghan territory and some iu
Persian.—(C. E. Tate.)
Passand Khan was summoned by the Hashmat-ul-Mulk, Chief of Seistan, to Mashed during the winter of 189T
and died there in April 1898.—(ATaaia Bakhsh.)
