Chiragh Baloch Instagram – Vlog 19 | Historic graves of ancient civilizations in Pasni, Balochistan
The recently discovered ancient graves clearly bear traces of foreign culture and civilisations. Some of these graves lie to the southwest of the city. These are very different from the local Muslim graves and are located at considerable distance from the local graveyard.
Some of the graves are said to be of Kalamati soldiers who died while resisting foreign invaders
To explore more about these graves, interviewed a historian and conversed with the local senior citizen who is aware of archaeology. Balochi poet and a historian Akram Khan opined about these graves, “It is possible that some of these graves are of the Kalmatians who died resisting the 16th Century Portuguese’s invasion of Balochistan.” He added, “When we closely observed the grave stones, it seemed that these were brought from the Zarain Hill located near the coast.” According to Akram Khan, camels or boats might have transported these stones here.
Karim Bakhsh, 75, a local of Pasni with an interest in archaeology, has a different point of view about the graves. “The Baloch fighters who fought against the colonial advance of English Empire are buried here in these graves,” he said.
He explained, “When we cleaned and polished these stones, we could clearly see Islamic kalmas and names inscribed in Persian.” It may be noted here that a vast majority of Balochs migrated from ancient Persia and settled in Makran. They used to speak both the Persian and Balochi languages.
More graves have been discovered to the east of the city. It is said that these graves are of Bedouins and Portuguese who were killed in a combat against Balochs.
