In addition to the five main tribes and the others just mentioned, there are also a
few tribes of lower status which are supposed to represent the four servile
bolaks,
which were associated with the forty Baloch bolaks. These are the Gopangs,Dashtis, Gadhis, Gholos, and perhaps some others. The Baloch nation, therefore,
as it appeared in the fifteenth century, on the eve of the invasion of India, was
made up of the following elements:
(1) The five main bodies of undoubted Baloch descent— viz., the Rind,
Lashari, Hot, Korai, Jatoi;
(2) The groups afterwards formed in Mekran—viz., the Budedhis,
Ghazanis and ‘Umaranis;
(3) The Dodais; and
(4) The servile tribes.
And since that period the Gichkis in Mekran, and the Jakranis in Sindh, seem to
have been assimilated in comparatively modern times.
