History

The history of Kacchi is closely connected with the history of Sindh. In the 15th century the Baloch arrived and there were constant wars between their leaders Mir Chakar Rind and Mir Gwahram Khan Lashari. Then the country was taken over by the Arghuns, following which it came under the control of the Mughal Empire. In 1740, Nadir Shah handed it over to the BrahuisKhanate of Kalat .[2][3]

After the Independence of Pakistan, Kalat State became part of Pakistan and Kachhi District was notified as a district on February 1965.
