Boledehi Explained

Boledehi (بلیده ای) is a term referring to a group of Hakoms who are Khans and Sardars of Jadgal tribe in Sarbaz and Chah Bahar, Makran region of Sistan and Baluchistan province of Iran.[1]

For centuries, Boledehies were the Hakims (princes) of Dashtyari, Bahu and Rask. Their Hakimate in Bahu collapsed due to emigration and the attack of a Sindhi aboriginal tribe known as the Sardarzahi (or Saddazahi), but they remained as influential hakims in Sarbaz and Nikshahr.
