MANDWANI (RIND) Mir Mandow was father in law of a famous Warrior Mir Chakar Khan Rind (Chakar e Azam) and was one of the Amirs of Balochistan. He ruled the territory of Kalat from 1488 to 1503 and spent a glorious tenure of 15 years of his Govern ship. Historical evidences cited the Baloch tribe as a brave and Warrior nation.

According to Mir Gul khan Nasir, Rai Bahdar Lala Hoto Ram, Mr justice Khuda Bakhsh Bajarani and others writers, Kalat was under control of a Hindu empire Sewa and was defeated by the Mughals. Mughals were further defeated by the Mirwanies and Mir Umer Mirwani took over the charge of state. Mir Chakar was interested in Kalat and organized powerful alliance with Mir Mandow Mandwani Rind and Lashari tribes to fight against Mir Umer Mirwani and succeeded after a bloodshed war. After two years ruling the state, Mir Chakar Khan Rind planed to conquer Sibi and started travelling with his troops towards Balochistan. Mir Mandow Rind the father in law of Mir Chakar was appointed as head of Kalat who ruled about 15 years.

Rinds lost their strength during a 30 year long and fatal war against Lasharis. Mir Bajar Mirwani had to counter the murder of his father Mir Umer Mirwani and started preparing a force to defeat Mir Mandow Rind and turned to end up a 15 years governance of Mandwanis at Kalat. Mir Mandow Rind along with his tribe migrated towards Punjab and occupied Multan. History mentions him as Amir of Balochistan. Aroound 1535 Mir Chakar having many victories in hand came to Mir Mandow Rind and appeared infront of him as a successful warrior. Whereas, on the other side Sher Shah Suri was preparing an Afghan force to Defeat Baloch regimes and appointed Haibat Khan as a force commander in 1544 to attack on Multan.Abbas sarwani narrated in Akbar Shahi that Haibat Khan launched an assault and surrounded the Balochi tribes all around but Mir Mandow managed to escape with his troops and family members. Hebat Khan was rewarded with the title of Hamayun Azam by Sher Shah Suri in recognition of his services. History mentions that Mir Mandow Rind was arrested in injured state.

Rai Bahdar Lala Huto Ram in his book “Tareekh e Balochistan” reported 17 wars between Khan of Kalat and Barozai tribes in retaliation of the murder of two sons of Shah Baig Mandwani Baloch, resulting into thousands of casualties. War zone of Mir Mandow Rind can be traced till eastern parts of the Territory (sub continent). It is famous that Mir Mandow Rind also got married with a graceful lady and was blessed by a Daughter named Hani who was married with Chakar e Azam. Tareekh e Balchistan has narrated the love stories of Hani and Sheh Mureed that has become an important part of Balochi Poetry.

In 1487 a Baloch Kingdom was formed under Mir Chakar Rind's rule, which was later destroyed by a civil war between the Lashari and Rind tribes. Mir Gwahram Khan Lashari andMir Chakar Khan Rind were leaders of their tribes during the Baloch civil war, the war was going on for 30 years in Gajaan Balochistan. Mir Gohram Khan Lashari challenged Mir Chakar Khan Rind during a dreadful war between Rind and Lashari tribes that even the sons of Mir Mandow can not save you from defeat. Gazette of Balochistan page 218 referred that MiroZai tribe deprived the Godhries from the leadership of Rinds since eight generations whereas, Godhries divested Mandwanies to be the leaders of Rind tribes. After the happening of Multan incident, Mir Chakar Khan Rind migrated to Satgarah Okara but history is silent on the whereabouts of Mir Mandow Rind.
