Buledi

The Buledi, Buledai or Burdi (Balochi: بلیدی‎) are a western Baloch tribe of the Pakistani provinces of Sindh and Balochistan. They are among the major tribes that settled in the Jacobabad District of Sindh during Charles Napier's time. The word Buledi derived from the Buleda valley of Makran. In Sindh province they are also known as Burdi. The tribe is further divided into 51 subtribes including the Gajani, Suhriyani, Sakherani, Muhammadani, Sundrani, and Bijarani.

History

The Buledi divided the country amongst the Baloch tribes of Makran and declared their chief the head of the "Federation" with a title of Malik (which means "king" in Arabic) . Capt. E.C. Ross in his "Memorandum on Makran", published in 1868 mentioned the inscriptions on certain tombs in Kech valley of the Buledi rulers and especially Sheh Billar, who ruled Makran in 1729 A.D. The last ruler was Sheh Qasim (the nephew of Sheh Billar) who was killed by the Gichki chief, Malik Dinar.[1]
