Gwadar Oman
The region remained on the sidelines of history for a
renaissance until the Arab- Muslim army captured Makran in CE 643 and over the intermediating
(and nearly original) quantum of time the area was queried by colorful powers.
This was also followed by nearly two centuries of original rule by the colorful
Baloch lines. The megacity was visited by Ottoman Admiral Seydi Ali Reis in the
1550s and was mentioned in his book Mirat ul Memalik (The Mirror of Countries),
1557. According to Seydi Ali Reis, the occupants of Gwadar were Baloch and
their chief was Malik Jelaleddin, son of Malik Dinar.
In the 15th century, the Portuguese conquered corridor of
India and Oman. They planned to do with the annexation of the littoral area of
Makran. They attacked on Gwadar under the leadership of her commander name Vasco-de-Gama,
but under the supervision of Commander Mir Ishmael Baloch, the Portuguese were
defeated by the Baloch and his trop. Many times the Portuguese pillaged and set
the littoral town lets on fire, but they failed to capture Gwadar. Cannons of
the Portuguese army were set up lying near the Central Jail of Gwadar. The
grave of Mir Ishmael Baloch is positioned near the Mountain of Batal Gwadar,
constructed by Mir Ishmael Baloch himself during his life. He failed in 873
Hijri, heirless. By the end of the 16th century, Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great
conquered the megacity along with all of Balochistan after the Battle of
Sehwan. It remained under Mughal control until the early 18th century.
In 1783, the Khan of Kalat Mir Noori Naseer Khan Baloch
granted suzerainty over Gwadar to Taimur Sultan, the defeated sovereign of
Muscat. When the sultan latterly regained Muscat, he was to continue his rule
in Gwadar by appointing a wali( or" governor"). This wali was also
ordered to pacify the near littoral city of Chabahar( now in Iran). The Gwadar
stronghold was erected during Omani rule. In the middle of the 18th century,
Mir Noori Naseer Khan Baloch captured Gwadar and its girding areas after
defeating the Gichki Baloch lineage and included it in the Kalat Khanate. Still,
realizing that maintaining control of the area will be delicate without the
support of the Gichkis, Mir Nasir entered into an agreement with the original
Gichki Chief, which allowed the Gichkis to maintain executive control of the
area, in return for furnishing half the collected earnings to Kalat, this
arrangement continued till 1783. When Saiad Sultan fell out with his family,
the sovereign of Muscat, and asked for help, Mir Noori Naseer Khan handed over
Gwadar, as part of his share of earnings, to Saiad Sultan for his conservation
with the understanding that the area be returned to Kalat, when Saiad Sultan
acquires the throne. Saiad Sultan mounted to the throne of Muscat in 1797 but
noway returned Gwadar enclave to Kalat. The preceding struggle between the
heirs at law of the Sultan and Khan of Kalat for possession of Gwadar, allowed
the British to intermediate. Telegraph lines were latterly extended into the
city courtesy of the British.
The British after rooting concessions from the Sultan for
the use of the area eased Muscat to retain Gwadar. Latterly on, the British
claimed that the area was granted to the Sultan by Mir Nasir, still, original
accounts and the declassified documents of that time challenged this claim.
From 1863 to 1879 Gwadar was the headquarters of a British Assistant Political
Agent. Gwadar was a fortnightly harborage of call for the British India
Steamship Navigation Company's steamers and included a combined Post & Telegraph
Office.
History of Gwadar
Ancient
The inhabitation of Gwadar, like the utmost areas of
Balochistan, appears to be ancient. The area shows inhabitation as early as the
Citation Age with agreements around some of the area's oases. It's from this
agreement pattern that the word Makran, the original name of Balochistan, is
deduced. For a period, it was a region of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. It's
believed to have been conquered by the author of the Persian Empire, Cyrus the
Great. The capital of the satrapy of Gedrosia was Pura, which is allowed to
have been located near the ultramodern Bampūr, in Iranian Balochistan. During
the homeward march of Alexander the Great, his crewmate, Nearchus, led a line
along the ultramodern- day Makran seacoast and recorded that the area was dry,
mountainous, and inhabited by the" Ichthyophagoi"( or" fish-
eaters"), an ancient Greek picture of the ancient Persian expression"
Mahi Khorana," which has itself come to the ultramodern word"
Makran".After the collapse of Alexander's conglomerate, the area was ruled
by Seleucus Nicator, one of Alexander's generals. The region also came under
Mauryan rule around 303 BCE, after Seleucus made peace with Emperor
Chandragupta and ceded the home to the Mauryansvasco.
