Shamsu’d-din’s death

About thirty years after Shamsu’d-din’s death Sistan became tributary to the

Ghori kings (A.H. 590), who maintained their power until Changiz Khan
devastated the country, but the Maliks of Sijistan continued to rule under them.
There was a Badru’d-din Kidani among the Maliks of Ghiyasu’d-din Ghori, but it
is impossible to say whether he ever had power in Sistan. But it seems most
probable that the convulsions attending Changiz Khan’s invasion forced most of
the Baloch tribes out of Sistan, and also drove east any who may have still
lingered in Karman. The whole legend is by some authorities located in Karman,
and not in Sistan.

 But I have never myself met with this version among the

Baloches. That a great migration among the tribes took place at this period does
not admit of doubt. Within thirty or forty years we read; of Baloches raiding in
Sindh, where they had previously been unknown.
