	Afghanistan - Qizilbash
		The Qizilbash of Mediterranean sub-stock speak Dari, are Imami Shi'a, and scattered throughout Afghanistan, primarily in urban centers.
		The Qizilbash are traditionally considered to be the descendants of Persian Shia mercenaries and administrators left behind by the Safavid Emperor Nadir Shah Afshar (1736-47) to govern the Afghan provinces.
		Amir Abdur Rahman accused the Qizilbash of being partisan to the enemy during his campaigns against the Shi'a Hazara in 1891-1893, declared them enemies of the state, confiscated their property and persecuted them.

		Until the early decades of the 18th century, large quantities of silk were shipped from Iran to commercial centers such as Aleppo and Bursa and from there distributed in the region and reexported to Marseilles, London, and Venice.
		This son of Tahmasp was brought to power by a Qizilbash faction interested in a prince whose mother was Turkoman rather than Circassian or Georgian.
		This strengthened his authority in the provinces at the expense of the Qizilbash, although the rapacious practices of the shah's tax collectors tended to undermine the prosperity of agriculture.

		Qizilbash tribes lived in a disputed area between the Ottomans and the Safavids, and both sides were in constant struggle to recruit the nomadic warriors to their service.
		Heterodoxies such as the Qizilbash millenarian extremism had to be contained: the intense and volatile millenarian expectations of the Qizilbash were detrimental to the stable and enduring infrastructure needed for the “temporal” administration of a centralized empire.
		Qizilbash ghuluww was to be tolerated early on, and the messianic claims of Ismail were to be interpreted in a Shiite framework.

	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		The beginning of the 17th century saw the power of the Qizilbash decline, the original militia that had helped Ismail I capture Tabriz and which had gained many administrative powers over the centuries.
		When the second Persian "vakil" was placed in command of a Safavid army in Transoxiana, the Qizilbash, considering it a dishonor to be obliged to serve under him, deserted him on the battlefield with the result that he was slain.
		The Qizilbashi tribes were essential to the military of Iran until the rule of Shah Abbas I- their leaders were able to exercise enormous influence and participate in court intrigues (assassinating Shah Ismail II for example).

	Morgan. Shah Isma'il I
		After the conquest of Persia many of the Qizilbash groups were granted grazing lands, especially in the north-west of the country, which not only contained the grasslands traditionally most favoured by nomads but was also the area nearest to the point of greatest danger to the state, the Ottoman frontier.
		The Qizilbash leaders long remained a potent force within the state, and not always one that the shah found possible to control as he might have wished.
		The Qizilbash themselves certainly saw the advancement of Persians to the highest office as an affront to themselves: two Persian waklls were murdered by them.

	b. Iran. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		These followers of the Safavids, known as the Qizilbash (“Redheads”) because of their distinctive red headgear, felt a devotion to Isma‘il both as a temporal leader and as head of the Safavid religious order.
		The Safavid dynasty founded by Isma‘il held effective power in Iran until 1722, although nominal Safavid rulers remained on the scene as political pawns for many years after.
		The eldest son of Isma‘il ascended the throne at the age of ten, and for the first ten years of his reign, real power was held by a number of leaders of competing Qizilbash factions, whose feuding caused much political instability.

	Iran the Safavids, 1501-1722 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		He counterbalanced the power of the qizilbash by creating a body of troops composed of Georgian and Armenian slaves who were loyal to the person of the shah.
		Although there was a recovery with the reign of Shah Abbas II (1642- 66), in general the Safavid Empire declined after the death of Shah Abbas.
		The decline resulted from weak rulers, interference by the women of the harem in politics, the reemergence of qizilbash rivalries, maladministration of state lands, excessive taxation, the decline of trade, and the weakening of Safavid military organization.

		In lieu of any competition, the half blind Sultan Muhammad Shah was placed on the throne in 1578 and, sensing his chance, the Ottoman Sultan Murad III began an invasion through which the Safavids lost a large part of their territory.
		He marched to Qazvin and persuaded the Qizilbash to accept Abbas as the new Shah.

		It is with such a temperament of hope and of continued prophecy that one such group, the Qizilbash (Red Heads) took up arms to fight for Isma'il Safavi, their divinely inspired leader, a venerable godhead in their eyes, to establish Truth and Justice on earth.
		It was not until a century later that the political power of the Qizilbash had waned and Shi'i orthodoxy had received the necessary political sanction to redraw its map of Shi'ism in Safavi Iran; sufism, a tendency so embedded in classical Safavi culture was, then, cast as heretical and expunged from the boundaries of legitimacy.
		I explore the spiritual land scape of the Qizilbash in an era when conversion to Shi'ism and the waning of Qizilbash political might was becoming an institutional reality.

		The Qizilbash became noticeable in Afghanistan when Nadir Shah Afshar, alleged by some to have Safavid lineage, created the Kandahar and Kabul garrisons during his Indian campaign in 1738-39.
		Then, in the mid-1800s a distant cousin of Barakzai clan took power under Amir Dost Mohammad, born to a Qizilbash wife of Sardar Payanda, was not sympathetic to the Shias and exploited Sunni-Shia differences.

		The way in which Qizilbash captures women and sets them on to a journey of self-discovery speaks at length of women emancipation.
		Each painting speaks volumes of how conflict-ridden a woman's life is. 'Wedding and Death went hand in hand' shows henna-painted hands shedding blood, while 'In the Past Life I was a Mermaid' has a blue theme and is set on a seascape.
		A student of Hunarkada, Qizilbash has had a mentor like Waseem Ahmed whose creativity speaks of contrasts in ideas, images and techniques.
