Sibi
Sibi (Balochi: سِبّی; Urdu: سبی;) is a city situated in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The city serves as the administrative headquarters of the district and tehsil of the same name.
The origin of the town's name is attributed to Rani Sewi, a Hindu lady of the Sewa Dynasty who ruled Balochistan before the 7th century.
The climate and topography of Sibi District is quite varied compared to other districts of Balochistan. It is also known as the "hot spot" of Pakistan, where the temperatures in the summer exceed far above normal 52.6°C (126.7°F). The district has two tehsils, Sibi and Lehri, which are further organized into sub-tehsils.
Sibi is connected to Quetta via the Bolan Pass and Nari pass through Harnai.
Bolan Pass depicted on a 1910 advertisement card for Liebig Meat Extract Company.
Until the end of the 10th century the district had been a dependency of Multan and had been part of Ghaznavid Empire ruled by a petty chief named Nasiruddin Kubacha.
Around 1500 it was taken by Shah Beg of the Arghun dynasty from Samma dynasty of Sindh and so came under the control of Kandahar. The remainder of Arghuns in Sibi were defeated by Pashtun Panni tribe of Sangan and kut mundai, thus the Pannis conquered Sibi and Dhadar plains.
Pannis of Sibi and Dhadar under their chiefs Malik Yahya Mizri and Jangi khan panni defeated the Mughal forces twice but surrendered the Sibi Fort after a third valiant resistance. Thus the territory came under Mughal rule. During the rule of Aurangzeb, Junaid khan Barozai, head of Panni (Pashtun tribe) of Sibi was granted authority over Sibi and Kachhi area and was titled ‘Bakhtiar Khan’, he was succeeded by his son Mirza khan, who was officially declared a Nawab by Aurangzeb and also given administration over Shikarpur, Sindh. Nawab Mirza khan Barozai lead the Pannis successfully in initial 16 out of 18 battles fought against Khan of Kalat of Mir Ahmad Khan, during the 17th engagement at a spot called Pir Lekhan, neither sides emerged victorious but Mir Ahmad himself, and his Minister, Akhund Mohammad Saleh, were both wounded and Mir Shawaz and Mir Ibrahim, the latter an ancestor of the Nausherwani Sardar Mir Azad Khan, lost their lives. The Brahuis left the battlefield; the Pannis collected the booty, consisting of silken belts and horses of Turki and Tazi breed. Mir Ahmad Qambrani's sister named Bibo gallantly attacked the Pannis attired in male garments she fought valiantly and got killed at the hands of Jalal Khan Panni.
