Mamasani and Med


The Med, or Medh, are the aboriginal, non-Baloch fisher tribe of the Mekran and
Sindh coast, known long before the appearance of the Baloches, who use the
name as a term of contempt; and those near the Indus apply it to the fishermen of
that river, and couple it with the name Machhi. A bard, in hurling a taunt at his
adversary of another tribe, tells him that Medhs and Machhis are not fit
companions for Mir Hamza!
