“The Zikris’ religion and origin is unknown despite the fact that some
researchers say that the founder of the sect either came from Attock (Punjab)
or Hyderabad (India),” said Mr. Gichki, further stating: “In my estimate, it
(Zikrism) is homegrown. The reason is that it is the belief of Zikri Baloch
that Koh-e-Murad is the place where they received religious inspiration and
all their places of worship are in Kech and Makran. So, in this context, one
can argue that their origin is from Makran itself.”
