History
The Rind tribe led by Mir Chakar Rind had formed powerful coalitions in the mountains of Baluchistan and recognized Mughal Emperor Babur as their suzerain in the year 1528. When the Mughal Emperor Humayun was forcefully deposed by Sher Shah Suri in the year 1540, Mir Chakar Rind and his son Mir Shahzad Rind fought against Sher Shah Suri and fought against the usurper Sher Shah Suri. The Rind tribe later escorted Humayun to meet Shah Tahmasp of Isfahan and later joined Humayun's Qizilbash regiments and were well rewarded with very large jagirs and family relations when Humayun finally regained the Mughal throne.

“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”

“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
