If history is known then it shows in the regime of Talpur
s, Kalmati and Nizamani
were assigned for the security of Karachi
. On 2 February 1839, when two British military ships (Hina & Wales) boarded on Karachi Port (Manora
). There was a big fort in Karachi. In Manora the British Army called the tribe to evacuate the Port and surrender arms. Commander of the tribe totally refused the surrender call. As legends unfolds he replied,“I am a Baloch and would prefer to be a martyr than to surrender.”
captured many parts of India and Oman and planned to proceed the annexation to coastal area of Makran. The Portuguese attacked Makran under the leadership of Vasco de Gama but in the supervision of Commander Mir Ismaheel, Portuguese were defeated by the Baloch. Almost a couple of times Portuguese looted and set the coastal villages into fire but they failed to capture coastal area of Makran. Cannons of the Portuguese army are yet found lying near the Central Jail of Gwadar, heirless. The grave of Mir Ismaheel is situated near the Mountain of Batal Gwadar, constructed by Mir Ismaheel himself during life. He died in 873 Hijri
.
After Mir Ismaheel's regime his nephew Mir Hammal Khan son of Mir Jihand Khan Kalmati, became the ruler of Makran. In the regime of Mir Hammal Khan, the Portuguese repelled back attacks number of times under the Command of "Lowess Dee Almia" but defeated on each attempt. After such defeat in many times, Lowess Dee Almia did a pact with Mir Hammal Khan one of the clauses of pact was that "Lowess Dee Almia" will not attack the Makran coastal area. But it was a just fraud from Portuguese they broke the pact and attacked Mir Hammal Khan when he was with some friends on his way in the sea. After the attack Portuguese kidnapped Mir Hammal Khan took him to unidentified place. As per history it is known that "Statue" of Mir Hammal Khan is lying in an island museum Goha in India the same constructed by Portuguese, Mr. R. Huges Buller has wrote in his book Makran Kalmatis that the fort and a well is still situated near to Gwadar called Gazdan. The snatched weapons from the Portuguese has been also seen in 1904 in Pasni
Port Balochistan.
Portuguese not only attacked Gwadar they also attacked Tehs Bandar (Tehs Port). At that time Mir Kareem Dad lateeg was the Chief of Tehs Port. Mir Kareem Dad Kalmati had been killed with his 44 soldiers.
the Kalmati tribe was in full power from Hub to Keti Bandar
(Sindh). When Mughals defeated Portuguese from Ran Kach they felt some danger from Kalmati tribe. First of all they planned to break their power, they ordered local Sardars (Chiefs) to be rulers of them as both were Baloch that is why the plan of Akbar did not succeed. On the second side the Lateeg tribe was consisted about 20,000, troops. When King Akbar failed in his plans he gifted agricultural land in Chachkan (Sindh) in 1654, when King Orangzaib failed and sensed that Kalmati are going to be rebels he gifted agricultural land in Sakro (Thatta
) which exist also today. In the same time the Kalmati tribe did alliances with other Baloch tribes, from Shah Bandar (Sindh
) to Hub (Balochistan) they made Baloch confederacy it was too powerful, as they ruled mountains and sea. The traders used roads and sea routes for trade in Hindustan
the Kalmati Sardar charged Rs.9,600 per year as taxes from Mughal rulers.
There was still resistance in Sindh it is difficult to write it here these all such stories has been quoted in a book called (Jang Namo) written by Dr. Nabi Bux Khan Baloch a renowned history writer from Sindh
.
Saleh Baig became ruler he tortured Kalmati tribe and made false cases against them. A person namely Mureed
when he heard that Arghoon rulers has killed his relatives, he swore that he will never wear traditional turban (Pagree) until he kill Mirza
Saleh Baig. At that time Mureed
was in Gujrat
and he reached in Thatta
, one day he saw that Mirza
Saleh Baig is patrolling in the Thatta
City with his protocol staff. Mureed
had hidden a knife in a paper and he asked the Mirza
Saleh Baig that I am the victim and need justice, the ruler stopped his horse and get down as soon he got down, Mureed
killed him. And Mureed was also killed by the protocol staff on the spot. It was a difficult time for all the Baloch tribes
particularly Kalmatis and Lashari
s.
Kalhoro attacked on Malir with his 18,000 troops the reason was all the tribes paid taxes to Kalhora
government but the Kalmati tribe was the only tribe who refused to pay such taxes. Kalhora
government has asked the Kalmati tribe has decided to handover 30 camel
s or cost of same to Kalhora
government in every Year. At that time a camel
has price of 10 rupees. But the Kalhora
government demanded for 50 camel
s per year. It took a long discussion as the Kalhora
demanded 50 camel
s but the Kalmati was not ready to pay for the cost of 50 camel
s. They walkout the same sitting in the peak time of lunch and Kalmatis left the sitting the ruler has sent a messenger to them to take the lunch, some one told the messenger that (We are not hungry, feed the ruler as he is more hungry then us). Kalmatis returned to Malir area under the leadership of Malik
Hyder Kalmati. Mia Yar Muhammad

)for picnic. When British troops go to Mango Pir stream on that day the local people were not allowed to visit stream. One day Chakar Bin Nothak belongs to Kalmati tribe was standing with his some friends and asked them that (We are the owner of stream and this is our land it is better to die that we are not allowed to get water from such stream), he has gathered some other persons with him and attacked British troops in this attack a British Army Officer called Captain Hound has been killed along with other soldiers. The British army has demanded to Chief of Kalmati tribe to handover the Chakar to them with this promise that after arrest he will be given a nominal punishmenty and will be released. Chakar was a refugee in Kalat Balochistan
he got messages from his relatives that the British army has promised that they will not be assissinated the Chakar, but we do not believe on their promise now it depends on you.
