Sanjrani Chiefdom
Sanjrani, a significant Baloch chiefdom, the Sanjranis family who ruled Seistan with its capital at Chakansur in the early and late 19th century. History At the end of the 18th century, part of the Narui, belonging to the Baloch tribe, left their native places and, by order of Alem Khan, settled on the banks of Helmand. The leader of this clan, who at first was considered a tributary, managed little by little to achieve complete independence from his neighbors and to transfer, before his death, a firmly established power to his son Dost Mohammed Khan, whose death, which followed, in 1857, was a heavy loss for his fellow tribesmen. After him, the only son left was Dervish Khan, but the brother of Dost Mohammed Khan, Sherif Khan, was appointed the leader of the tribe; he was considered the most powerful man in the country. The example of the Narui was soon followed by the Tuks, a Baloch tribe from the Haran region. Their leader Khan Jan, the son of Jan Bek and the grandson o ...
