The Qarai Turks of the Fars Province (G. F. Magee, 1948)

Qarahi

Another tribe of Turk origin, formerly independent, the Qarahi consist of the following sub-sections: Beig, Bayat, Damiri, Khalaj, Kari, Korreni, Ali Mardani and Bodaqi. These amount to 350 families. In addition the formerly independent tribe of Qaracheh is attached to Qarahi, bringing the total to 400 families. Qaracheh also is a Turki tribe.

Qarahi are settled in the Sar Chahan district of Niriz approximately 50 miles north of Niriz village. The Qaracheh live at Quri (UK1777). Neither group migrates but they move from 10 to 15 miles each year for fresh grazing for their flocks. They own their own land and the majority of the people are engaged in cultivation.

There is no kalantar of Qaracheh but they are usually represented by Gholam Reza Amiri for administrative purposes.
