Brief History of Meskanzai

Well the origin of miskanzai begins with sardar karam baig Sarparah, who was the original inhabitant of kardigap, but after conflict with khan of kalat he came to kharan and together with nawab of kharan especially with one accord they waged a war against Khan of kalat, the Khan of Kalat after seeing the enormous power of sardar karam baig Sarparah agreed to finish over the fight, and requested him to come back to kardighap, but he refused to do so, as he was a man of his words, and responded to the Khan of Kalat with great enthusiasm, courage and fervour that now he will never return and will settle in kharan forever and ever. Subsequently, his Son 'Miskan' built a kalat known as Miskane Kalat and thus Miskanzai a branch of Murrai which is further sub branch of Sarparah,began to have their own area of peace.

Recently, the most Important and Notable figures of Miskane Kalat are the respectable Islamic Scholar Dr. Allama Ayni Muhammad Qasim Meskanzai Sahb and his son the honourable Chief justice of Balochistan High court Justice Mir Muhammad Noor Meskanzai. Muhammad Noor Meskanzai by Resorting to his knowledge and position propagated justice in the whole society of Kharan and it is rightly said that in a society where justice prevails no one dares to committ any offence. Furthermore He made Miskane kalat and his home town Kharan a region of peace and tranquility. And we hope in future there will be more influential figures originating in Miskane Kalat to pervade justice in the society of Kharan.
