Jafar Quli Khan Darashurlu-Qashqai (Lieut. G. F. Magee, [1945] 1948)

Ja’afar Qoli Khan



Born 1908. Was joint kalantar with Mohammad Hassan Khan 1938-39, after which he remained in summer quarters until 1941. Is the son of a dissident member of the Darrehshuri, Nasrollah Khan. Independent character. Relations between him and the other Darrehshuri Khans are strained. (There are also unconfirmed reports of a land dispute between them.) Did not take part at Semirom but his men were actively engaged in looting in the Dehagun area during the summer of 1943. Reserved, but considered by the A.I.O.C. as the most trustworthy of the Darrehshuri Khans. Has a large following (See Table of Darrehshuri sub-sections). His wife is the sister of Mohammed Hassan Khan.
