	Brahui - LoveToKnow 1911
		BRAHUI, a people of Baluchistan, inhabiting the Brahui mountains, which extend continuously from near the Bolan Pass to Cape Monze on the Arabian Sea.
		The khan of Kalat, the native ruler of Baluchistan, is himself a Brahui, and a lineal descendant of Kumbar, former chief of the Kumbarini, a Brahui tribe.
		Probably the Brahuis are of Dravidian stock, a branch long isolated from their kindred and much Arabized, and thus exhibiting a marked hybridism.

		The origins of the Brahui speaking tribes are uncertain, but their language indicates they are a Northern Dravidian people whose language has been modified by residence in the proximity of largely Iranian peoples, most notably the Baloch with whom the Brahui have been greatly mixed.
		The Brahui people had already long been resident in Kalat when the Balochi speaking tribes arrived from the west.
		The Brahui Khans of Kalat were dominant from the 18th century onwards until the arrival of the British in the 19th century.

	baloch and balochistan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The racial cognation of the Brahui with various peoples has been sought on the basis of faint archaeological evidence; nor is it uncommon to refer to a supposed similarity in place-names or identical sounds in certain words in proposing a racial kinship among ancient peoples.
		The argument that the Brahuis are the remnants of a Dravidian people, driven out of India by invading Aryan hordes, is thus baseless; nor we have any proof whatsoever that the Brahuis are a people inhabiting their present abode since the ancient past.
		Sometimes the people align themselves with powerful races and cultures and descent from such people is proposed to boast a higher connection or exalted socio-cultural status.
