1 3. Following the end of the war with Japan the notorious
internee Seyid Abul Qasim iVASHAtfl was released on August 16th,
Instead of leaving immediately for Tehran he remained for a time in
Kermanshah where his internment was regarded rather as a martyrdom
and his undoubted pro-German affinities seemed to increase rather the
decrease his popularity. He made a number of anti-Allied speeches ar
made it clear that he intended to return to-return to the political
^arena. ** هذه التواريخ تقريبية
TRIBAL:
I 4 . Khusru QU3ADIAN 1 s appointment as Farmandar of SHAHAB^D
(see para 3 above) threatened to bring on a crisis in the affairs of
the KALHUR tribe (c.f. July Diary para 17) where his family has been
under an eclipse si^ce 1926, when his brother Abbas Khan Quhadian,
Amir Makhsus, was derived of his lands and headship of the tribe by
Reza Shah and removed to Tehran where he spent eleven jsears in prisor
In his place Reza Shah appointed ALI AQA A’ZAMI chief of the tribe.
Abbas Khan recovered his liberty in 1941 and in 1942 Ali Aqa was
murdered, probably at the instigation of Abbas Khan. Ali Aqa's son,
QaSIjA KH^A A'ZAivil then became Bakhshdar of GILAJf and de. facto head of
the tribe though he was never confirmed in this position by the
Ministry of interior, meantime, yibbas ivhan Qubadian, who had returnee
to Tehran as deputy of .the- Majlis#, had been agitating and intriguing
as hard as he could to get back his lands and to oust the A'zamis
from the position of wealth and importance they had acquired in the
tribe. Owing to the precarious constitutional situation of the Prime
Minister, Aqa Sadr, who h,ad no reliable majority and no vote of
confidence from the majlisa, *ibbas Khan was able to force the appeintf-
ment of his brother Khusru t^ubadian as Farmandar of shahabad which
in effect gives him complete control of the Kalhur tribe and undisoutW
superiority over his hated rivals, the A’zamis, who, being rich,
powerful and well-armed after enjoying the spoils of office for twenty
years, were not disposed to submit tamely to this situation which
involved their spoi\jL)ation and degradation, if not their actual
liquidation, for which the recent and unpunished murder is a terrify**#
precedent. The newly arrived Ustandar, Aqa Kalantari, tried his best y
to compose the differences between the two factions in an amicable
manner but without much success. Thanks to the counsels of patience
and prudence which were offered to the A’zamis they refrained from
acts, of violence despite many provocations but at the close of the
month the outlook was very black.
13* ^ ^ MUHAMMAD AMIN BEG, Bakhshdar of PAVEH and Sarparast of
the AUROMAN LAHUNI tribe (ref. JulyDiary para 22.) returned from
Tehran in the middle of August. He did not succeed in obtaining the
appointment of Captain (Sarvan) of the Lahuni Gendarmerie held by
his late brother KERIM BEG but it is understood that both he and his
rival, EZZAT BEG, son of Kerim Beg, are to be appointed Lieutenants
and to share the command. Ezzat Beg was unwilling to accept this
solution and went off to Tenran to try and upset it. Meantime Mohd.
^min Beg on his return to Paveh took up witn the JaVANRUDIb the variorS
acts of aggression (c.f. Jul^ uiary para 19) committea by them during
his absence and succeeded in making a pact of friendship with them.
This cut away the ground from under the feet of Ezzat Beg who had
been counting on Javanrudi support, Mohd. Amin Beg further strength
ened his position by getting all his brothers and nephews with the
exceptional Ezzat Beg to sign a document recognising him as leader
of the tribe and promising to obey him at all times. These two
diplomatie triumphs of Mohd, ^min Beg have greatly improved the prespe/^
of peace and tranquility in the Lahuni area.
