Shahsavan
The
Shahsavan is another tribe of Turki origin that has lived in the Khamseh area
for more than century. No explanation of their separation from the main body of
Turki tribes is offered.
The
tribespeople are mostly settled in the district between Niriz and Estahbanat. A
few families migrate from the former to the latter place in summer with the
tribal flocks and herds. They have cultivated the land for many years and enjoy
a very good reputation by Khamseh standards.
The
kalantar of Shahsavan is Qodratollah and was chosen by the tribespeople. The
appointment is frequently changed without the knowledge of the Khamseh Governor
who interferes only when the chief proves troublesome.
Shahsavan
totals no more than 100 families and consist of the following sub-sections:
Shahsavan, Qarahassani, Janali. Qaraqanli. (The last named sub-section broke
away from the Qashqai sub-tribe of the same name.)
