ALI KHAN QASHQAI, SALAH HISHMAT. Born
about 1889. Fifth and youngest son of late Darab
Khan, Ilbegi of the Qashqai (died 1894) by a daughter
of Murad Beg Bahluli a servant of Harab Khan :
thus full brother to Ahmad Khan, Sardar Ihtisham
(q. v.) and half-brother to Ismail Khan, Soulat-ud-
Douleh. Was a small child, when his father died
and thus did not receive similar care and education
as his elder brothers, nor was he assigned full share
m the patrimony. As result, is less cultured and
wilder than they, and comparatively poor. Through
out past 18 years of strife between Soulat-ud-Douleh
Ihtisham has sided with latter. In 1917 took refuge
with Bakhtiari Khans, who fixed up arrangement
with Soulat-ud-Douleh that Ali Khan should receive
300 Tumans monthly. Soulat-ud-Douleh gave him
several thousand Tumans and the command of a body
of tribesmen to attack the Indian troops and S. P. It.
1918, but on appointment as Ilbegi by Farman
Farma 3rd July Ali Khan turned against his half-
brother. Owing to his reckless plundering of the
Qashqai tradesmen, and to his antagonising Avaz
Kikha Dareshuri (q. v.) by an insult to latter’s
daughter, he gradually lost control of the clan 1919-20,
and gave up Ilbegi ship September 1920. Remained
hostile to Soulat-ud-Douleh in the vicinity of Mayin
and Marvdasht with a .following which gradually grew
smaller in 1921, but was financed both by the
Governor-General, Nusrat-us-Sultaneh, and Qawam-
ul-Mulk, in order to neutralise and weaken Soulat-
ud-Douleh’s power in the tribe. In May 1922, when
latter was camped 8 miles from Shiraz Ali Khan with
assistance of some Dareh-shuri and Kashkuli chiefs
suddenly attacked him : casualties both sides. In
autumn of 1922 went off to eastern Fars, after his
followers had been implicated in several robberies.
In 1923, resided in Shiraz, claiming restoration of his
villages seized by his half-brother, but got no redress.
