Local tradition state that these people are a Mughal tribe named Barlas.
Barlas |
Together with Hajji Beg, the leader of the Barlas tribe, they overthrew ‘Abdullah and killed his puppet khan.
Possessing both fragile mental health and intense emotions, Barlas was arrested on the morning of New Year's Eve, 1891 after walking to Westminster Bridge and firing a revolver three times at the House of Commons, apparently to show his contempt for Parliament.
As predicted, most of the tribal amirs declared their support for him; those that didn't (notably Hajji Beg of the Barlas tribe) decided to flee.
