Marri-Bugti Country

Marri-Bugti Country (Marri and Bugti Country) was a tribal region during the British occupation of Baluchistan. Marris and Bugtis are the strongest Baloch tribes in the Balochistan. The Marris occupied 8,460 square kilometres (3,268 sq mi) in the north, while the Bugtis occupied 10,000 square kilometres (3,861 sq mi) in the south. Today, the region is divided into three districts: Kohlu, Dera Bugti and Sibi.[1]

History

The Marris and Bugtis first met the British when a Major Billamore entered their territory during the First Anglo-Afghan War. In April 1840, Captain Lewis Brown was sent to occupy Kahan but surrendered to Marri Chief Doda Khan five months later. Meanwhile, Bugtis had trouble with Sir Charles Napier and General John Jacob came greater trouble with both tribs. In 1845 after the treaty was signed which shows that both tribs were supported financially by Khan of Kalat.

Population

By 1901, the total population of the Country was around 39,000, of which 19,000 or so were Marri, 18,500 Bugti, and 415 Hindu. Most inhabitants were nomadic.

The Marris were divided into three sub-clans: the Bahawalanzai from the Ghazini clan and the Sherzai and Bijarani from the Loharani clan. The Bugti clans were Pairozani Nothani, Durragh Nothani, Kalpar, Mondrani, Shambhani Mareta, Masori and Rahija.

gollark: Yes, inasmuch as far as I know you need various more advanced calculus things to do much of that, as well as large quantities of other maths you don't appear to know.
gollark: One basic use is that you can calculate the rate of change of things, because that's basically what the derivative is. For example, velocity is rate of change of displacement, so you can go from displacement to velocity (to acceleration, which is rate of change of velocity, and so on), or integrate to go the other way.
gollark: Having vaguely looked at how they work, I don't think you can do that unless you know the frequency of sound in question.
gollark: Have you tried expanding the brackets?
gollark: Roughly.
