Government
The rulers of Makran were originally styled as Sardar and from 1922 as Nawab. Details on earlier rulers are sketchy with the first definite dates from 1898 CE onwards. The Gichki family ruled this region before the Makran State and after when the Makran State was formed the Gichki Sardar of Kech was made the Nawab of Makran.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“Yes, I am a thorough republican. No other form of government is so favorable to the growth of art.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The worst enemy of good government is not our ignorant foreign voter, but our educated domestic railroad president, our prominent business man, our leading lawyer.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
