Historical Study of Ishaqani Rind Baloch Tribe

Abstract

This analytical study expresses the history and contribution of the Sakhani Baloch Tribe. Historically this was among the prominent tribes who established their small states before the battle of Intra-Baloch tribal wars. The son of Mir Muhammad Ishaq Khan-1 from Rind Baloch established his government initially in eastern Balochistan and northern Derajat before the famous battle of Nali between Rind and Lashar Tribes. This battle of Nali not only marginalized the authority of Lashar tribes but also divided the strength and power of Rind which had united against Lashar during thirty years war. After this war the Baloch tribes migrated from Balochistan to Punjab and Sindh and lost the glorious status of the past due to the anarchy among Baloch tribes for political supremacy. This research article explains and highlight the history and contribution of Ishaqani Baloch Tribe which is famous now as Sakhani Baloch.
