Kirani
Kirani is an area on the outskirts of Quetta previously known as Shal Kot, the capital of Baluchistan province of Pakistan. It is a small village. Initially the people here included the descendants of Wali Kirani Chishti predominantly and some Baluchistan and Pathans who worked on their lands. At the time this area was green and lush and there were fruit orchards of all kinds. Which were irrigated by the local rivers. An abundance of forests and wild life was there. The locals had to ask for permission from Wali Kirani's descendants in order to get wood for burning from their lands.
At the time most Balochi tribes were mostly Bedouins and raised goats and sheep for a living. Slowly people spread their resources and took to selling wood that they cut from the forest. Many of these people made permanent houses for themselves on the uninhabited lands and started paying rent to the owners.
Because there was lack of manpower and the land was only used in the rainy season, the owners had no qualms about the arrangement. But after a few decades these people filed for partial ownership of the land and occupied them permanently. Also as the population of the Sadat grew the land was distributed between their descendants and some families only ended up with enough land which was hardly enough for them to live on. So they migrated to other areas. In this way the influence of non-Sadat increased in the area and many villages were formed. People took over thousands of acres of barren land. Today the Sadat are only limited to their own village. Most have sold their lands and left the area.
