a remarkable and historic document of pre partition Balochistan. the Britishs were very good players of "divide & rule". they make tribes of Balochistan to fight with each other so they can't think to rebel. cost of a British riffle was 60 indian rupees at that time, but Britishs were selling it for 1200 rupees to balochs. it was and it is the baloch tribal chiefs that were become pawns of Britishs, and they didn't care their own people.
