Nafar Tribe
They
speak Turkish and therefore must have come from among the nomads of Turkestan.
As has been mentioned before, Hajji Husayn Khan Nafar became chief of the
Baharlu and Nafar tribes during the reign of Nadir Shah. His son, Muhammad Taqi
Khan Nafar succeeded him.
The
latter’s son Ali Akbar khan, who in turn was head of the two tribes, spent
several years in the service of Hajji Muhammad Husayn Khan, Governor of
Isfahan, where he learned the art of prosody and rhyme. He was the governor’s private
secretary for some time.
The
Nafars are divided into sixteen sub-tribes.
