KACH GANDAVA, a district or section of Baluchistan, on the east of which the capital is Gandava. It is a great level tract, inhabited by three very distinctly-marked races, the Jet (Jat), the Rind (including the Maghazzi), and the Brahui. The Jat seem the prior race, and occupy the centre of the province. The Rind, with their lawless sub-tribes, the Jakrani, Dumki, Bugti, and Murree, are a more recent intrusive race, dwelling ou the skirts. The Dods, a division of the widely dispersed great Murree tribe, have, for the last three centuries, occupied the bill ranges east of the plain of Kochi. The Murree are a brave race, and have long been distinguished as daring depre dators. Maraud and Dajil, in Kach Gandava, but bordering on the Indus, are inhabited by the Gurchani tribe of Rind, and have the Muzari on their south. The great Rind tribes are sub divided into 44 branches. Their traditions affirm them to have immigrated ages ago from Damascus and Aleppo. Their language is the Jetki, in com mon with that of the other inhabitants of Kach Gandava, and Mard-i-Rind means a brave man.
The Rind of Kach Gandava are of the Utanzai division.
Dumki, Jakrani, Bugti, and Doda Murree have always been distinguished by their rebellious and predatory habits. The Murree inhabit the eastern hills of Kach Gandava, and a peaceful and obedient portion of the tribe are in the hills west of the province below Jell. A large portion are at Adam Murree, on the S.E. frontier of Sind. The Murree and the Maghazzi seem to have emigrated from Mekran to Kach Gandava at different periods, and to have become incorporated with the Jat cultivators. The Maghazzi have only four families, the Butani at Jell being the chief. They are enemies of the Rind, but are probably of the same race. They boast of being able to muster 2000 fighting men, and between them and the Rind a blood-feud long existed. The Maghazzi and Rind are alike addicted to the use of ardent spirits, opium, and bhang.
