Equally ironic is how after the Mazari Baluch of South sacked and butchered Sikhs he sent them a peace invitation and Mazari chieftain was hoisted at his palace as his chief guest.
Its 'funny and 'ironic' that Sikhs hunted down , punished and cowed Mazari Balochs?...... Read the excerpt from Gazetterr of DG Khan district,
"Dera Ghazi Khan had been annexed in 1819, and the administration made over to Nawab Sadik Khan of Bahawalpur. His province nominally included Rojhan ; but it was not until after the Harand Dajal province was conquered from the Khan of Kalat in 1827, that the Sikh supremacy became a reality. Diwan Sawan Mai then took over the administration, and as the Mazaris continued their predatory habits, he marched with an army of seven thousand men to Badli near Rojhan.
The Mazaris were driven into the hills, and Diwan Sawan Mai made them surrender all the stolen cattle in their possession. This was a great grief to them. But they soon broke out again, and sacked the town of Mithan Kot . The Diwan then marched down, this time occupying the country more effectively, forcing the Mazaris to take refuge in the territories of the Amir of Khairpur. Finally, terms were arranged through Rahim Khan, Laghari; Mir Bahram Khan attended the Diwan's Darbar at Multan in 1833-34."

Whether Mazari chief dined in Sikh darbar or danced for them, the fact remains that Ranjeet Singh did not lift ban on Azaan and cow slaughter.........Ranjeet Singh followed stick and carrot policy against his enemies, it worked in case of Mazari Baloch while it did not work in case of Yousafzai chiefs of Mardan, Bannu etc who not only turned down Ranjeet Singh offer but would slaughter large number of cows just to provoke Sikhs.
