Kulachi

Kulachi (कुलाची), one of the three branches of the Dodai Baloch and tribesmen of the Fateh Khan who founded the Dera of that name. They are found in Pakistan.

History

H.A. Rose writes that The Kulachi once held a broad tract, 20 kos wide by 12 long, in Dera Ismail Khan and gave their name to the town of Kulachi, from which the tahsil of Kulachi takes its name. But at the close of the 18th century they were described as once subjects of the Mirrani Baloch and then tributary to Mirza Khan, the Qizzilbash, to whom they paid Rs. 12,000 a year in revenue. They appear to have accompanied the Hot, who found Dera Ismail Khan, in considerable numbers, but settled in that tract as cultivating proprietors rather than as a military caste and they have now sunk to the status of Jats, Kulachi tahsil having been overrun by the Gandapur Pathans who are still dominant in it, which had enabled her to lengthen the beam. These were wah guru, or according to others, " Allah-hu al-samad." Ram Singh's ruin was attributed to his having revealed this watch-word too freely to his followers.
