Buleda

Buleda was a Baloch tribal territory in a highland valley of northern Makran, north of Turbat. Its streams fed irrigated fields and date groves, and the valley gave its name to the Buledai dynasty.

The Buledai chiefs and the Gichkis maintained Makran’s independence. When the Ain-i-Akbari was compiled in 1590, Makran alone among the Baloch lands did not answer to an outside emperor. The Buledai later lost power, and Nasir Khan I of Kalat brought the Makran highlands under the Brahui khanate.
