Social Organisation Bolan

Introduction

The society in Bolan district is predominantly patriarchal organised. The society is male dominated, leaving little room for women in decision making on household, family and tribe level.

Tribal affiliation is imposed. Tribalism is strong and tribal feuds have increased in number over the past years. Tribalism has led to vendettas, as the result of which common innocent people are killed. Vendettas have resulted in the killing of tribal elite, such as Nawab Ghoush Baksh Raisani, Taj Mohammed Rind, Nawab Ismail Raisani, sons of Mir Chakar Khan Domki etc.

 

Decision making is in the hands of males. The decisions they make are binding for women. There are no social organisations worth the name to cater for the social needs and problems of the common men.
