Tribes and Chiefs
The Bugti Nawab is the supreme leader of the whole Bugti tribe. The Chiefs of sub-tribes of the Bugti are throned by the Nawab upon the formal request of that sub-tribe in the event of death, paralysis or simply the loss of majority of support from and within that particular sub-tribe. The Chieftains of sub-tribes are also known as Waderas in Baluchi. They are throned from among other possible candidates in the family.

Famous quotes containing the words tribes and/or chiefs:
“I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you tie a horse to a stake, do you expect he will grow fat? If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth, and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented, nor will he grow and prosper. I have asked some of the great white chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They can not tell me.”
—Chief Joseph (c. 1840–1904)
