30. HAJJI MUHAMMAD AMIN KHAN—
Present chief of the Raoti trihe of Khorassan (q.v.). The Raoti trihe,
incorrectly called Jamshidi hy people in Khorassan, derives its name
from the Derawat district of Kandahar. About 2,000 families of
this tribe originally emigrated from Derawat to Herat, but, owing
to some misunderstanding between two sections of the tribe, about
700 families migrated to the Taimani country and joined the tribe
of that name. The rest of the tribe settled in the Badghis district,
whence they were moved to Maruchak by order of Nadir Shah.
There they intermarried with the Jamshidis. From Maruchak
they moved to the Kara Jangal hills; from there they were again
moved by Nadir Shah to the Khushkhaneh district of Kuchan.
After Nadir Shah’s death they migrated to Sarakhs and thence
returned to Badghis. Ahmad Shah Afghan restored to them their
former possessions at Chaharderreh, Shahrud, and Karabagh, and
conferred the title of khan upon their chief—Nadar Khan.
Afterwards the tribe again migrated to Khorassan from Herat
and settled at Zorabad, whence they returned to Herat and settled
at Kushk. In 1857, this tribe, then numbering some 700 families,
migrated to Kuhsan, and then were induced by the Persians to
come to Khorassan. They were allotted lands in Sar i Jam, where
they settled, but were obliged to move from there to Kanagusha
and Karabukka (villages near Meshed) owing to Turkoman raids.
Their chief then was Ismail Khan, son of Allahyar Khan.
From Kanagusha they were again moved to the Kushkhaneh
district of Kuchan, but later on again returned to Kanagusha.
They then numbered about 550 families, but, owing to famine and
other causes, this number has been reduced to 200.
