Kachhi
of upper Balochistan
and in Lasbela
lower Balochistan and the Run of Kachchh(Gujrat) and in Multan
(1351-1517). The ruling tribe Sammas were fiercely independent and rebelled against Delhi Sultanate. They reached the height of their power during the reign of Jam Nizamuddin II
, the Jam Nindo (1461-1509) who is still recalled as a hero, and his rule as a golden age. The Capital of all the early dynasties was the city of Thatta
. Jam Nizamuddin II or Jam Ninda, as he was affectionately known, ruled in golden age as the leader of the Jamot Dynasty from 866 to 1461. The rise of Thatta
as an important commercial and cultural center was directly related to his patronage and policies.
During the rule of Kalhora
kings the Abro
and Airi tribe was ruling tribe of kachhi
(Bhag) Mian Shah Ali better known as Sháhal Muhammad (the kalhora
king) gives important job to Abro
tribe in state and divided it among his children and brothers, and himself selected his residence in the village of Habíbání.
In the year 1142 A.H. (1729 A.D.) Murad Kaleri, tribal chiefs of the country near Siwi
brought into subjection. Murad Kaleri was also known as Ganjah, was appointed by Main Noor Mohammad Kalhoro
as an agent in charge of Siwí, and brought into subjection powerful chiefs like Jafar Khan Magsí, the land owner of Ganjobah, Ali Mardan Abro and Ibrahim Khan Abro chiefs of Nausharo
, Kachhi
, Mahyan Eri and Lahná Machhi, big land owners of Bhag Nari, Kala Khan and other chiefs of the tribe of Barzoi, the owners of Dhadhar.
Mián Núr Muhammad now commenced hostilities with Mír Abdulláh the Khán of Kalát, who was a Bróhí and who proudly called himself “the Eagle of Kóhistán” In 1143 A.H. (1730 A.D.) he marched and took the fort of Kartah from Mubárak Khán, after a severe blockade and fight, in which Ismáíl Khán Bróhí was defeated and Kákar Bróhí was killed. After these events Mír Abdulláh Khán, the Khán of Kalát thought it expedient to conclude peace with the Mián, which was ratified by his giving two daughters in marriage to the two sons of Mián.
Unfortunately, in 1144 A.H. (1731 A.D.) a force of Bróhís, in open contravention of the terms of the peace, invaded the land of Káchhah and plundered that part of the country. To punish them for this, Main Noor Mohammad Kalhoro
himself marched out and encamped at Ládkanah. From there he despatched some brave chiefs to fight with Mír Abdulláh Khán. At Jandehar, where Mír Abdulláh Khán had arrived in advance, a pitched battle was fought which ended in the complete overthrow of the Brohís and the death of their ruler.
In 1145 A.H. (1732 A.D.) the Mián’s son Muhammad went to Khiár and Wankár with a few selected chiefs and celebrated his marriage with a daughter of Murádalí Khán, a cousin of Mír Abdulláh Khán; and in the next year his other son Khudádád Khán also married a daughter of a kinsman of his. Thus the connection between the Siráís and the Bróhís became stronger and closer by these marriages.
A period of expansion then commenced. Mir Ahmad made successive descents on the plains of Sibi
. Mir Samandar extended his raids to Zhob, Bori, and Thal-Chotiali, and levied an annual sum of Rs. 40,000 from the Kalhoras.
Mir Abdullah
was eventually slain in a fight with the Kalhora
s at Jandrihar near Sanni in Kachhi
. During the reign of Mir Abdullah's successor, Mir Muhabbat, Nadir Shah rose to power; and the Ahmadzai ruler obtained through him in 1740 the cession of Kachhi, in compensation for the blood(khoonbaha) of Mir Abdullah and the men who had fallen with him.
The chiefs of the Gujar
, Ronjha, Gunga and Burfat tribes, who are still to be found in Lasbela, are said to have exercised a semi-independent power previous to the rise of the Aliani family of the Jamot tribe, to which the present Jam of Lasbela belongs. The Jams of Lasbela
reside in Balochistan and they speak Lasi
, while the Jam family speak Balochi
. Former Chief Minister of Balouchistan Jam Mohammad Yousaf, is the Sardar and head of this Tribe.
