Re: History of Baloch and Balochistan
Baloch follow the Practice of Hazrat Abraham to judge the Truth and Falsehood by moving the suspicious person on the live coal (Baloch use Specially wood of “Kaheer” (because its coal does not turns into ash within about 24 hours) . Briefly describing, first of all a channel (about 10 ft (3.0 m) in length, 4 ft (1.2 m) in width and 3 ft (0.91 m) depth) is dug and wood of Kaheer (commonly) is burnt to prepare coal during this time a reciter recites some verses of the Qur’an, after that the suspicious person is asked to walk on the blazing coal in the presence of Above All (Muqadams, white beard men). If he is true then coal never burns his feet, a blameless Baloch has faith in this fact to that day. It is known by “Patt” in Balochi

](Khanate of Kalat - Wikipedia)**Mir Khudadad Khan Ahmedzai Baloch (1857-1863)
Khan of Kalat Mir Khudadad Khan Ahmedzai Baloch (1857-1863) was the ruler of Balochistan during the nineteenth century and during his reign the country experienced numerous revolts, and even his rule was usurped for more than a year by Sherdil Khan Ahmedzai Baloch
**
**Khudadad’s predecessor was his half brother Mir Nasir Khan II who also had experienced tribal unrest during his rule. Mir Nasir Khan II was poisoned to death when Khudadad Khan was a boy of sixteen.
**
**In 1863, a general revolt broke out with most of the tribal chieftains siding against Khudadad Khan. Khudadad was forced to flee and the chieftains elected his cousin, Sherdil, as khan. Sherdil Khan did not last long as Khan being killed by his own mercenary guard. Despite being returned to the throne by the tribal chieftains, Khudadad continued to have troubles administering the kingdom, and revolts continued.
**
**In 1875, British influence and money through the able assistance of Robert Sandeman resulted in the Mastung Agreement which formed the basis for the Baloch confederacy. That agreement succeeded in calming the revolts and they were over within a year.
**
In 1893, Khudadad has his chief accountant and staff murdered for allegedly planning to assassinate him. In the scandal that followed, Khudadad agreed to abdicate, and did so on 15 August 1893.

Las Bela (princely state)**
** Las Bela was a princely state in a subsidiary alliance with British India (later a princely state of Pakistan) which existed until 1955. The state occupied an area of 18,254 km[SUP]2[/SUP] (7,048 sq mi) in the extreme southeast of the Balochistan region, with an extensive coastline on the Arabian Sea to the south. Las Bela was bordered by the princely states of Kalat and Makran to the north and west. To the east lay the province of Sind and to the southeast lay the Federal Capital Territory around the city of Karachi.**
History The State of Las Bela was founded in 1742 by Jam Ali Khan I. His descendants ruled Las Bela until 1955 when the state became part of West Pakistan. For a period of three years between 3 October 1952 and 14 October 1955, Las Bela was part of the Baluchistan States Union but retained internal autonomy. In 1955, Las Bela was incorporated into the new province of West Pakistan and became part of Kalat division. In 1962, the area of Las Bela was detached from Kalat division and merged with the former Federal Capital Territory to form the division of Karachi-Bela. When the provincial system was changed in 1970, Las Bela became part of the new province of Balochistan.
Demographics The main ethnic groups in Las Bela are Baloch and Sindhis . The population was mainly Muslim Baloch and Sindhis but there was a small population of Hindus.
Geography and climate Las Bela has a hot, dry tropical desert climate. It is only a few degrees north of the Tropic of Cancer. The sea breezes though make the weather less extreme than inland Balochistan, where 50 °C (122 °F) in the summer.
Rulers The hereditary rulers of Las Bela were styled as Jam Sahib. The Samma Dynasty took the title of Jam, the local equivalent of “King” or “Sultan”.

** Khanate of Kalat**
The Khanate of Kalat (Balochi: قلات) was a princely state that existed from 1666 to 1955 in the centre of the modern-day province of Balochistan, Pakistan. Prior to that they were subjects of Mughal emperor Akbar in Delhi. Ahmadzai Baloch ruled the state independently until 1839, when it became a self-governing state in a subsidiary alliance with British India. It was briefly independent from August 1947 till March 1948, when its khan acceded his state to the new Dominion of Pakistan. It remained a princely state of Pakistan until 1955, when it was incorporated into the country.
The state capital was the town of Kalat.
Geography The Khanate of Kalat occupied the central part of the territory of modern-day Balochistan province in Pakistan.
The principal mountains are the Central Brahui, Kirthar, Pab, Siahan, Central Makran and Makran Coast Ranges, which descend in elevation from about 10,000 to 1,200 feet (370 m). The drainage of the country is almost all carried off to the south by the Nari, Mula, Hab, Porali, Hingol and Dasht rivers. The only large river draining northwards is the Rakhshan. The coast line includes Gawadar, Pasni, Sonmiani and Geewani in Pakistan and Chahbahar, Bandar Abbas in Iran.
History The Khanate of Kalat was founded in 1666. The Khanate reached at its peak during the period of Mir Noori Naseer Khan Ahmedzai Baloch I, who unified Kalat region under his flag. The territories controlled by the state fluctuated over the centuries but eventually were established by treaties with the British Agent Robert Sandeman in the late 19th century. Parts of the state to the north and northeast were leased or ceded to form the province of British Baluchistan which later gained the status of a Chief Commissioners province.
From 15 August 1947 to 27 March 1948, the region was de facto independent before acceding to Pakistan on 27 March 1948. The Baluchistan States Union was formed on 3 October 1952 with three neighbouring states. The Khanate of Kalat ceased to exist on 14 October 1955 when the province of West Pakistan was formed.
Rulers of Kalat The rulers of Kalat held the title of Wali originally but in 1739 also took the title (Begler Begi) Khan usually shortened to Khan. The last Khan of Kalat (Balochi: خان قلات) had the privilege of being the President of the Council of Rulers for the Baluchistan States Union.

Makran (Princely State)
**
**Makran was an autonomous princely state in a subsidiary alliance with British India until 1947, then from 1948 a princely state of Pakistan. It ceased to exist in 1955. It was located in the extreme southwest of present-day Pakistan, an area now occupied by the districts of Gwadar, Kech and Panjgur. The state did not include the enclave of Gwadar, which was under Omani rule until 1958.
**History The state of Makran was established in the eighteenth century. Ruled by the Sardars of the Gichki Baloch family[SUP]citation needed][/SUP] of Makran, who remained sovereign until 1948. On 17 March 1948, Makran acceded to Pakistan, and on 3 October 1952 it joined Kalat, Kharan and Las Bela to form the Baluchistan States Union. The state was dissolved on 14 October 1955, when most regions of the western wing of Pakistan were merged to form the province of West Pakistan. When that province was dissolved in 1970, the territory of the former state of Makran was organised as Makran District and later Makran Division of the province of Baluchistan (later changed to Balochistan).
Demographics The population of the province was mainly Baloch tribes with some Arabs and Iranians.
Government The rulers of Makran were originally styled as Sardar and from 1922 as Nawab. Details on earlier rulers are sketchy with the first definite dates from 1898 CE onwards. The Gichki Baloch family ruled this region before the Makran State and after when the Makran State was formed the Gichki Sardar of Kech was made the Nawab of Makran.

**Balochi and Brahui Manuscripts of Maktaba-e-Durkhan
**
We are digitizing rare Balochi and Brahui language manuscripts from Maktaba-e-Durkhan (Durkhani School). The Maktaba was a religious reform movement started by Baloch ulema based in the village of Durkhan near Dhadar (Kachhi) who resisted colonial rule and sought to counter Christian missionary propaganda. The founders of Durkhani school such as Maulana Fazil Durkhani translated the Holy Quran, Hadith, and other religious texts in Brahui and Balochi languages to make it easy for ordinary people to understand the tenets of Islam. Here we share Kalmat-ul-Kufr, a book of advice written by Maulana Abdul Hayee Durkhani ca. 1900 in Balochi that warns Muslims to guard against saying words (Kalmat) that may compromise their faith
