KAKAR

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 637 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KAKAR , a Pathan tribe on the
Zhob
  valley frontier of
Baluchistan
 . The Kakars inhabit the back of the Suliman mountains between
Quetta
  and the Gomal river; they are a very ancient race, and it is probable that they were in possession of these slopes
long
  before the advent of Afghan or Arab. They are divided into many distinct tribes who have no connexion beyond the common name of Kakar. Not only is there no
chief
  of the Kakars, or general jirgah (or
council
 ) of the whole tribe, but in most cases there are no recognized heads of the different clans. In 19or they numbered 105,444. During the second Afghan War the Kakars caused some annoyance on the British line of communications; and the Kakars inhabiting the
Zhob
  valley were punished by the Zhob valley expedition of 1884.
KALA-AZAR, or Dum-Dum
fever
 , a tropical disease, characterized by remittent
fever
 , anaemia and enlargement of the
spleen
  (splenomegaly) and often of the
liver
 . It is due to a protozoon parasite (see PARASITIC DISEASES), discovered in 1900 by Leishman in the
spleen
 , and is of a malarial type. The treatment is similar to that for malaria. In
Assam
  good results have been obtained by segregation.
