Yalangtush Khan Jalayir
YALANGTUSH KHAN―
Formerly Governor of Kelat is about 50 years of age
and belongs to a family of Turks of the Jalair tribe (see Gazetteer of Persia)
who were independent Chiefs of Kelat. The last of these independent Chiefs was
Yalangtush Khan, who gave much trouble during Muhammad Shah’s reign, but was
finally reduced to submission. His son Behbud Khan, a man of great intelligence
and learning, was long excluded from the Chiefship in consequence of his father’s
rebellions, but eventually found favour with the Hisam-us-Sultaneh, Governor
General of Khorasan, who restored to him the Chiefship. Behbud Khan died in
1883 and was succeeded by his son Yalangtush Khan, who was, however, dismissed
from the Chiefship after two years and was succeeded by Haji Abul Fath Khan, a
Kurd of the Pazaki tribe of Kazvin, father of Muhammad Mehdi Khan,
Jalil-ul-Mulk. Yalangtush Khan is at present without employment and lives at
Meshed. Has married his daughter to Muhammad Reza Khan, Shuja-ul-Mulk, Hazara.
