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]
