Kharan

Kharan is the Baloch tribal country of the arid Kharan Desert in inland Balochistan, centered on the oasis town that early Islamic geographers knew as Buqan. Its clans belonged to the Baloch tribal confederacy traced to Jalal Khan in the twelfth century, whose chieftains ruled most of Balochistan from then on; the region later became the Nausherwani khanate of Kharan.
