The Battle between Kakars and Balochs

[Samandri]

In their entire history, the Kakars fought just once and fully defeated the Balochs. It is said the Balochs had been exasperated by the border incursions which had long existed between them and the Kakars. They attacked the Kakars in a manner that give the expedition the appearance of a national war. Nasir Khan , the chief of Kalat, assembled six thousands Balochs at Shal. The Kakars , alarmed at this serious invasion, retired with their flocks to Doshakha , a stony plain and climbed the highest peaks of the mountains , west of Zawara; these were difficult to climb and were surrounded by inaccessible precipices. The Balochs, aware of the strength of this place if approached from Shal side, changed direction and proceeded through the Hanna valley, across the ridge to enter the Zawara valley and advanced through a narrow defile which was the only practicable route to Doshakha. Tahmas Khan, the Kakar chief, allowed them to advance till they reached the last steep ascent where his men showered them with a barrage of boulders and completely defeated the Balochs.
