Agha Jan




Mirakhor. A Kizilbash of Kabul of the Sherwani family. Formerly in the service of Sardar Amin Khan and then in his son’s, Ismail Khan. He joined Yakub Khan in 1868 at Herat, and incited him to revolt against Yakub’s father. His property was then confiscated and after Yakub’s imprisonment he joined Ayyub and persuaded him to flee to Persia. During 1880―81 he was employed under Wali Muhammad and on Abdur Rahman’s arrival at Kabul joined Ayyub at Tehran.
