kind of tribes which have been the beauty of this historic nation. Baloch are
also known for their bravery across the world because of its great and brave
people who have been the men of war and honor. One of these men of war and
honor was Mir Chakar Khan Rind, who was probably one of the most famous and
brave leaders Baloch have ever had. Mir Chakar was the first to make Baloch
widely known in subcontinent and in rest of the world. His bravery drew the
attention of hundreds of historian to have research on his life as well as the
bravery and traditional lifestyle of Baloch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 200%;">According to

the kingship of Rind tribe, he along with his colleagues decided to go out of
Makuran for the search of fertile land as the areas of Makran were barren. Mir
Chakar Rind along with almost forty thousand Rinds with thousands of camels and
horses laden with goods left Makuran forever. They kept on traveling,
eventually, they reached at Khuzdar. After some days rest in Khuzdar, Mir
Chakar Rind and his companions started moving towards Kalat’s upper mountains.
They fought successfully against the ruling tribes and took hold of a vast area
from Khuzdar to Kalat. Mir Chakar along with his caravan entered Bolan passing
through hard paths. At last, he reached Dhadar and raised his flag. After
couple of years, Mir Chakar shifted his camps from Dhadar to Sevi (Sibi now).
But his cousin Mir Meeran Rind settled in Dhadar and established his reign
(Sardari) there. Mir Chakar also ruled in Kachchi, before reaching Sibi. After
gaining power in the mentioned areas, Mir Chakar settled in Sevi (Sibi) and
became the only owner there. He ruled Kalat, Kachchi, and Sevi (Sibi) for forty
years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">Mir Chakar was
widely famous for his bravery; he proved his personal valor in 1496, when he
traveled to Hirat (Afghanistan) to muster support from Sultan Shah Hussain. He
was made to fight a mad elephant and ride a tough horse in Hirat. He succeeded
in all these tests though could not get the support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">According to
Justice Mari Mir Chakar Rind was leading an army of 40 thousands soldiers, who
were extremely brave and faithful. Sardar Gishkori believed that Chakar Rind’s
army was not less than Mogul horde in term of war; however, they were defeated
by their own bad decision during warfare. Even Baloch historian consider Rind
or Chakarian era as ‘the golden period’ for Baloch, they believe Baloch were in
a position to become a powerful nation in the shape of the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">Unfortunately,
the kingdom of Mir Chakar was short-lived due to 30 years war between Rinds and
Lashars. Mir Chakar and Gwahram Lashari, head of Lashari tribe, went to war
that caused the death of thousands, including Mir Chakar’s brother Mir Sohrab
Khan Rind and Mir Meeran Rind, one of the bravest and devoted commanders of
Rind tribe. Chakar was extremely broken with the death of Mir Meeran. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">Unquestionably,
there was a time when Rinds and Lashars were living jointly with love and
friendliness and stood on the whole for each other to face every hard
situation. Before them, Mir Shayhaq (father of Mir Chakar) and Sardar Nodbandag
Lashari (son of Lashar Khan and father of Gwahram Lashari) helped each other in
every miserable condition till their old ages. But with the passage of time,
differences and misunderstanding among Rinds and Lashars got born and they
became thirsty of each other’s blood; therefore, the long and unexpected war
broke out between them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">Certainly, the
thirty years war and bravery of Rinds and Lashars became a shining but
destructive part of Baloch history, which turned ‘the Golden period’ of Baloch
into ‘Dark Age’. Today, many believe Rinds’ and Lashars’ 30 years’ war brought
about a serious damage for Baloch as a nation since Baloch fought series of
wars amongst themselves. The result of these tribal conflicts not only caused
large-scale bloodshed but also resulted in their mass migrations; as right
after the last war against Lashars, when Lashars were completely crashed by
Rinds, Mir Chakar Rind along with his caravan once again started wondering from
Sibi to Punjab in about 1511. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">To settle in
Multan, he requested for help from Langa Sultan but his request was rejected
because of Malik Suhrab Dodai. Thus he couldn’t fully get place to settle in
Multan. Later, he joined the first Mogul king ‘Babar’s’ army. After the death
of Babar, Humayun became the head of Mogul dynasty. Under the command of his
son, Mir Shahdad Khan, Mir Chakar’s forces joined the Mogul army of Emperor
Humayun. As a reward, Humayun endowed Chakar and his son ‘Shahdad’ with
property (Jagir) including horses, slaves and land in the areas of Multan,
Khoshab, and Sahiwal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

defeat of Mogul dynasty in Delhi by Sher Shah Suri’s forces, Humayun went exile
in Persia in about 1539. After the death of Sher Shah Suri, Suris, under the
command of Saleem Shah Suri, were defeated in 1555 and Humayun regained his
dynasty in Delhi. Mir Shahdad, son of Mir Chakar, supported Humayun in the war
against Suri. In this war, the exemplary roles and bravery of Banadi, sister of
Mir Chakar, and rest of the Rinds are still remembered to thousands. They
played an enormous role by supporting Humayun in gaining his dynasty. As a
result of these victories, Humayun gave land to Mir Chakar and his son, Mir
Shahdad, in the close proximity of Delhi. Many Baloch settled in Farakh Nagar
and Bahadur Gharh, but Mir Chakar himself settled in Sathgharh (Sahiwal
district) and gained power and respect there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="line-height: 200%;">It is said that
Mir Chakar ruled Sathghara until he died in about 1565. The companions of Mir
Chakar constructed a tomb for his body in Sathghara. No doubt, Mir Chakar has
been held responsible for the backwardness and destruction of Baloch as a
nation because of his bad decisions especially in term of warfare; but the name
and popularity that he has given to Baloch can never be ignored. In his era,
Balochi oral literature reached its highest peak. Chakar has been considered
among the greatest personalities of 15th and 16th centuries. He will remain be
alive for his bravery and ‘Bahoti’ in the hearts of thousands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
