It has been described as the region from to , or the region between the mouths of the and rivers. This area later formed part of the pargana of Ghorabari. From about 1470 to 1760, Kakrala was also a small state, whose rulers took the title of Jam and are called as either Sammas or Kehars (or Kīhars). Their capital was at , which is now in ruins near the site of . The Jams of Kakrala built numerous tombs and chhatris for themselves and for their patron saints. One of their patron saints was , a 16th-century Suhrawardi mystic who is buried at a place called Aban Shah Ja Takkar (where he had come to live during his lifetime), 2 km south of in Sujawal district. Another was Rajan Shah, also a Suhrawardi mystic from the same family, whose tomb is located 1 km west of Aban Shah's. Both the men and women took part in the tomb-building process; for example, one woman of the Kakrala ruling family commissioned the tombs at near Jati. Kakrala was finally annexed by the Kalhoro dynasty in 1760. Some 19th-century authors identified Kakrala with the island of Krokala in ancient Greek sources, but this is unlikely because Krokala was probably not in or near the Indus Delta. (en) |
