PESHIN, or PISHIN

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 283 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PESHIN, or PISHIN , a
district
  of
Baluchistan
 . Area 2717 sq. m. Pop. (19o1), 50,200. It consists of a large
plain
  surrounded on three sides by hills, which formerly belonged to Afghanistan but was ceded to the British by the treaty of
Gandamak
  in 1879. This
plain
  is of considerable strategic importance, as it forms the
focus
  of a
great
  number of routes leading from Sind and the Punjab frontier districts to
Kandahar
 , and is intersected by the Sind-
Peshin
  railway. The agricultural wealth of
Peshin
 , and consequently its revenues, have increased greatly under British administration.
