or wells, but generally in subordination to the had proprietors or lords
of manors. Here and there a small clan settled down together, but this was the
exception. Balochis are still numerous all through the southern part of the
Kachha, up to Darya Khan; but though they were originally the ruling race,
still, as regards proprietary rights in the land they hold a position inferior
to that of the Jats and Sayyals, by whom the superior proprietorship of hads is
generally held. North of Darya Khan there are very few Balochis. In Thal, the
population is almost entirely Jat. A few families of Balouch Pashtuns came
across the Indus River from the Paniala Hills. Of these, one became dominant at
Piplan, while the others moved on into the Thal and took up their abode
eventually in and around Jandanwala
