Husain Ali
Sepeh
Salar. Kizilbash. Considered by many one of the ablest Afghans, both as a
soldier and a statesman. Said to have been the mainstay of Amir Shir Ali Khan’s
reign. He left Kabul in 1881 and resided with Ayyub Khan at Tehran. Amir Abdur Rahman
had striven in vain to induce the Sepeh Salar to return. In July 1886 Amir
Abdur Rahman confiscated all his property in Kabul, and deported his daughter
to Meshed, and 67 other relations to Peshawar. On the break-up of the Afghan
colony in Persia, 1887-88, Husain Ali Khan at first decided to remain in Persia
but afterwards resolved to accompany Ayyub Khan to India.
