The conspiracies of the Nawabs and the conspiracies of the states: the story of the accession of Kharan, Lasbela and Makran to Pakistan.
It was a fight between two relatives. In this war, first the powerful circles of the region joined, then the political powers of the region jumped, finally the world powers also became active.
This event begins with a wish. Well known Balochistan historian and jurist Dr. Salahuddin Mengal says that Nawab of Gachki, ruler of Kich Makran, relatives of Khan of Kalat, relatives of Khan of Kalat wanted to hand over agricultural lands of Kachhi area to him. to give. What.
One opinion on why he wanted to do so is that he wanted to increase the revenue of his state. The second opinion is that he was a royal spendthrift and wanted more income for his growing expenses.
With this desire he asserted his right to the turtle lands. But Khan of Kalat Mir Ahmad Yar Khan rejected it.
The Khan of Kalat was of the view that these lands belonged to the tribes and they had no right to give them to anyone else. This was the first incident that caused a rift between the former British Balochistan and neighboring states.
After this tension between the state of Makran and the state of Kalat, a long period of Nawab Bayan's activities began.
According to historian Dr. Hameed Baloch, these activities can be traced back to one letter. The letter was sent by Sir Rupert, a Muscat-based political agent, to a British man stationed in Bahrain. The secret letter revealed that meetings were taking place between Nawab Bayan, the Imam (ruler) of Muscat, a resident of Gwadar, and British officials.
The letter states that Nawab Bayan reached Gwadar from Turbat on October 27, 1947. At that time ships were a popular means of transportation between these nearby coastal areas. But Nawab Bayan was not alone in this journey. He was accompanied by a reasonable number of his brothers, sons and other members of the tribe.
Special arrangements were made for the accommodation of these guests at Government Guest House Gwadar. On the first night, Saeed bin Timur of Muscat hosted a dinner in his honor. This style of Nawab's statement was unusual.
Nawab was just enjoying the banquet when a British agent stationed in Gwadar invited him for tea.
News of the manner in which Nawab Bayan was handcuffed caused a stir in the area. The idea became commonplace that there would be great progress in the days to come. After these meetings Nawab Bayan Jiwani arrived, after which he left for Karachi and stayed there for the next few days. After this tumultuous journey of Nawab Bayan, another journey is mentioned.
Malik Dinar Gachki was the brother of Nawab Bayan. One day he boarded the famous ship SS Barpeta which reached Gwadar while traveling in these areas. Like Nawab Bayan, Malik Dinar also met important personalities here but his most important meeting was with Hidayatullah. Hidayatullah used to work here as a British agent.
