The Makran Dependencies of Muscat and Oman
- Scope & Content:
-
Letter and Enclosures to HM Secretary of State for India, dated 20 December 1871, concerning the Mekran [Makran] dependencies of Muscat: Gwadur [Gwadar] and Charbar [Chābahār].
The papers cover: the view of the Government of Bombay that the Sultan of Muscat, Syud Toorkee [Sayyid Turkī bin Sa‘īd Āl Bū Sa‘īd] should enjoy the same rights over both Mekran and Bunder Abbas [Bandar Abbas] as his predecessor; the occupation of Gwadur and Charbar by the Sultan of Muscat's brother, Abdool Azeez [Abd'al Aziz Al-Said], and the Sultan's request that Abdool Azeez be removed from there by the British Government; the proposal that the gunboat Hugh Rose should be sent to the area to establish the Sultan's authority there; and the Government of India's view that while not preventing the Sultan of Muscat from sending ships and men to Gwadar and Charbar, the British Government ought not to interfere further in the matter.
The main correspondents are Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis Pelly, Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; and Major Edward Charles Ross, Political Agent and Consul, Muscat. There are also translations of two letters from the Sultan of Muscat.
The Enclosures are dated 18 October - 7 December 1871.
