Mir Chakar Khan Rind or Chakar-i-Azam (Farsi or Urdu: میر چاکر خان رند) is considered a folk hero of Baloch people. Mir Chakar (1468 – 1565 [1]) was a Baloch King in the 15th century. Chakar Khan founded a kingdom which proved to be shortlived however because of a civil war between the Lashari and Rind tribes of Balochistan[2].
