Bakhtiari[edit]

ali mardan khan was Bakhtiari not Kurdish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.42.55.15 (talk) 18:19, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a reference to a source supporting this claim? The editor who added the claim that Ali Mardan Khan was Kurdish included a detailed reference to a source for that information; you have not provided any source for yours.

Please note that I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you need to be able to back up your claim. The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true. —Paul A (talk) 04:31, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A question about dates[edit]

A little question - Khan is supposed to have surrendered Qandahar in 1638, so how could he have been a noble in the court of a ruler (Tahmasp I) who died in 1576 ? The Shah of Iran at this point would have been Safi of Persia, and the next ruler with that name (Tahmasp II) wasn't born until around 1704. It might be a typo, and it should actually be 1538, rather than 1638 (which would probably fit in with the Kandahar and Humayun articles), but I've checked the reference and it definately says 1638... Any answers please :-) CultureDrone (talk) 08:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and the Karim Khan article states that Ali Mardan Khan was around in 1747.....either he's semi-immortal, or there might be more than one person with this name.... CultureDrone (talk) 08:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above note is correct. Ali Mardan Khan was the ruler of Qandahar in the last years of Shah Abbas I and after that Shah Safi. Many Persian historic text have mentioned about him when he was in the Safavid court and in the Mughal court. For example, see,

The Badshahnamah/Abdal Hamid Lahawri,تاریخ روضه الصفای ناصری, تاریخ عالم‌آرای عباسی

A question about historic texts[edit]

A question- Are there any historic text who have mentioned Ali Mardan Khan as governor of Lahore, Kashmir, and Kabul? As I am studying the life of Ali Mardan Khan, many new box and articles have mentioned him as governor of one or all of these cities, but, I personally did not find any historic text to mention that. On the other hand, Professor Baqir, in his book, Lahore: past and present, has provided list of governors of Lahore in different periods, in which there is nothing about ALi Mardan Khan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.182.33.158 (talk) 16:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
