BOZDAR , a Baluch tribe of Rind (Arab) extraction, usually associated with the See also:

mountain districts of the frontier near Dera See also:Ghazi See also:Khan. They are also to be found in See also:Zhob, Thal-Chotiali and See also:Las See also:Bela, whilst the See also:majority of - the See also:population are said to live in the See also:Punjab. They are usually graziers, and the name Bozdar is probably derived from Buz, the See also:Persian name for See also:goat. Within the limits of their mountain See also:home on the See also:outer spurs of the Suliman hills they have always been a turbulent See also:race, mustering about 2700 fighting men, and they were formerly constantly at See also:feud with the neighbouring See also:Ustarana and See also:Sherani tribes. In 1857 their raids into the Punjab See also:drew upon them an expedition under Brigadier-See also:General See also:Sir N. B. See also:Chamberlain. The Sangarh pass was captured and the Bozdars submitted. Since See also:Baluchistan has been taken over they have given but little trouble. ' This was the " old See also:style " date, which in the new style (see See also:CALENDAR) would be See also:July 11th (not 12th, as See also:Lecky says, Hist. of See also:Ireland, iii. p. 427). The 12th of July is annually celebrated by the See also:Orangemen in the See also:north of Ireland as the anniversary, but this is a confusion between the supposed new style for July 1st and the old style date of the See also:battle of See also:Aughrim, July 12th; the intention being to commemorate both.
