Buledi
The Buledi or Buleidi (Balochi: بلیدی) is a Baloch tribe in the Pakistani provinces of Sindh and Balochistan. The tribe derives its name from the Buleda valley in Kech.[1][2][3] the Bulediare listed among the major tribes of the Kacchi region.[4]
History
Buledi descend from a certain Bu Said or Buledi, whom they claim to have come in the 18th century from Oman in the southern Arabian Peninsula.[5] However, according to the Italian anthropologist Ugo Fabietti it is possible that in reality the Buledi tribe came from the Helmand region of Afghanistan.[6] For a time, Buledi ruled Kech with the support of Nader Shah of Persia. However, they lost Kech to the Gichkis after a power struggle in the 18th century, and whole eastern Makran came under control of the Gichkis.[6]
