=== British India === In the British Raj, the Kanjaris were listed under the 1871 Criminal Tribes Act as a tribe "addicted to the systematic commission of non-bailable offenses." Many of them escaped into the mountains of Kashmir to avoid discrimination and many also fled to other parts of the region such as Baluchistan where many settled in the Gwadar where they did not face the same prejudice as in British India systematically as it was under Omani rule. Many of them assimilated into the local identity and lived nomadically on the edges of the town.
