Re: Armour of Baloch Hero Chakar e Azam
Helped? They were in the service of their king Nadir shah afshar along with Afghans/Pashtuns. In 1744 Jonas Hanway obtained information on Nadir Shah’s 200,000 standing forces. The tribal contingents were Abdalis(50,000), Afshar (20,000), Uzbek Tartars(6,000), Turkemn(6,000)and Baluch (6,000). Nomadism in Iran: From Antiquity to the Modern Era - D. T. Potts - Google Books . It is clear that majority of soldiers in Nadir shah’s multiethnic army were Abdali Pashtuns. And ghilzais were also recruited after deposing them. One of the famous general of nadir shah was azad khan afghan, he was ghilzai of sulieman khel clan and had 12,000 ghilzai soldiers under him. Basically every ethnicity, under his rule, were represented in his army. Nothing special about it.
