Kacchi (Kalat)

The Kacchi is historically part of Sindh, with indigenous Sindhi population,^[1] the history of Kacchi is also closely connected with the history of Sindh. It was part of Rai, Chach, Soomra and Samma dynasties. In the 15th century the Baloch arrived and there were constant wars between their leaders Mir Chakar Rind and Mir Gwahram Khan Lashari. Then the area alongwith whole Sindh was taken over by the Arghuns, following which it came under the control of the Mughal Empire. Kacchi and Sibi were then parts of the Kalhora dynasty^[2] until in 1740 when Nadir Shah handed it over to the Khanate of Kalat^[3] as a blood compensation for the death of Mir Abdullah Khan Ahmadzai,^[4][5][6] in the Battle of Kachhi.^{[7][8][9][10]}

After the Independence of Pakistan, Kalat State became part of Pakistan and Kachhi District was notified as a district in February 1965.
