Yet there is certainly no community of blood or emigration between Tunis and Bahreyn. The remaining five-sixths are Shiya'ees of the Persian fashion.
Mixed with the indigenous population are numerous strangers and settlers, some of whom have been established here for many generations back, attracted from other lands either by the jjrofits of commerce or of the pearl fishery, and still retaining more or less of the physiognomy and garb of their native countries.
Thus the gay- coloured close-cut ...dress of the southern Persian, the saffron-stained vest of 'Oman, the white robe of Nejed, and the striped gown of Bagdad, are often to be seen mingling with the light garments of Bahreyn, its blue and red turban, its white silk- fringed cloth worn Banian fashion round the waist, P 2 212 BAHREYN AND KATAR [Chap. XIV and its frock-like overall ; while a small but unmistakable colony of Indians, merchants by profession, and mainly from Guzerat, Catch, and their vicinity, keep up here all their peculiarities of costume and manner, and live among the motley crowd, "among them, but not of them." After the decline of the Carmathian dynasty in Kateef, Bahreyn became a dependency of Persia, and for a considerable period acknowledged no other rule or even interference.
