Modern Umardwal was a divided into two administrative provinces during the rule of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]], Umalia in the north, Markhazia in the southern part of Umardwal and the northern part of [[Yanuban]]. These provinces were based both on ethnic distinctions with the {{wp|Afghan people|Ifgeen}} north of the [[Great Kavir]] and the {{wp|Kurdish people|Umardi}} south of the desert. The province of Umalia was a crowning jewel for the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]] with its fertile land, it's booming textile industry and trade routes on [[Sea of Kandahar]] and the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. It became a hub of learning and culture and served as the crossroads between the Arabo-Persian and the Punjabo-Nepali areas of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]. | Modern Umardwal was a divided into two administrative provinces during the rule of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]], Umalia in the north, Markhazia in the southern part of Umardwal and the northern part of [[Yanuban]].

It was a wealthy province where the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]] was much loved by the subjects. | ||
In Markhazia, however, the {{wp|Kurdish people|Umardi}} were much more resistant to the rule of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphs]]. They used the mountainous terrain fight a 2 century long guerilla war against the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]] who was constantly trying to pacify the region to bring [[Pre-modern global trade|trade routes]] through without cross the [[Great Kavir]]. The region did not enjoy the natural agricultural wealth of the Umalian Plains and focused on herding and substance farming. | |||
