Boghayri Turks
BŪGHĪRĪ―
A tribe of Turks numbering some 1,300 families
occupying the Bam-Safiabad district in Khorasan.
Of these there are two sections, 800 under Bam and 500
under Safiabad. The latter are called Sarakhsis, and presumably came from
Sarakhs. According to the Sani’-ud-Dauleh (Matla’-ush-Shams, Volume I, pages 17
and 158), the Bughiri is a sections of the tribe of Garili Turks who were
brought from Karakuram to Khorasan by Hulaku Khan (1253-1264). Some 30 years
ago, the Safiabad section had a chief of their own, named Lutf ’Ali Khan
Sarakhsi, who had a service of 30 savars at the same time. The Bam
section had a chief named Allah Yar Khan, son of Muhammad Khan, who had also a
service of 30 savars. Both chiefs are now long dead. Allah Yar Khan left a son
named Jabbar Khan, who is still alive at Bam, but without any position. Lutf ’Ali
Khan left no sons.―(C. E. Yate, 1898.)
