Khazar, Uyghur) Rulers. The prominent Turkic Rulers
were,Tama-Tarkhan, Ras Tarkhan, Alp Tarkhan, Hazer Tarkhan, Qutlugh
Tarkhan Sengun, Tun Bagha Tarkhan etc.. The term Tarkhan was a
Mongolic Title conferred by the Tarkhan Chief enjoyed power and
privilege next to the great Mongol Khan. Originally, Tarkhan was a
term Applied to Mongol nobles. Tarkhan is a Turko-Mongol Tribe.
Amir Timur in his Institutes, enumerates twelve of forty Tribes
which had submitted to his Government; Barlas, Tarkhan, Arghun,
Jalair etc.[8] The title was originally a hereditary one; Chengiz
Khan conferred it on the Qishliq and Bata, under Timur, a Tarkhan
had free access to the Palace and criminal immunity for himself and
his children up to nine offenses.
The Qishliq Tribe was derived from the Kalkits tribe, sprung
from Urma-uts Tribe. Kalkits was the third son of Menglig, surname
Izka, for his piety and virtue, was of this (Urma-uts) Tribe
married the widow Ulun-iga, mother of Temujin. The Kishlik, who
with his brother, Baydu saved the life of Genghis Khan, made them
and their decedents, Tarkhan from nine generation, free from all
sorts of Taxes. The descendants of the Two persons, Kishlik and
Badai to were the progenitors of two tribes, styled respectively
Badai Tarkhan and Qishliq Tarkhans [4] So, it is proved that the
Tarkhan was a family of Genghis Khan. A follower of Temurs,
Ghiyath-al-Din Tarkhans Ancestor Kishlik (qishliq), had been made a
Tarkhan by Genghis Khan, and had later been among Chaghadais Amirs.
This honor had descended in his family and let them consider
prestige. Three of Ghiyath-al-Din daughters married sons or
grandsons of Temur, one of them was Gawharshad, Shahrukhs powerful
and influential wife. She was conspicuous in public dynasty
occasion and as a Patron of architecture. She was an integral part
of Shahrukh's closest circle and seems to have direct ties to his
major Amirs. The sons of Ghiyath-al-Din Tarkhan, Ali Tarkhan,
Hussian Sufi Tarkhan, Sayyid Ahmed, Mohammad Sufi, and Hamza
Tarkhans were also prominent in most of Shahrukhs early
campaigns.
Babur was a descendent of Timur through his father and Genghis
Khan through his mother. He was the eldest son of Umar Sheykh
Mirza, ruler of the Fargana Valley, the son of Abu Said Mirza (a
grand son of Miran Shah, who was himself the son of Timur) and his
wife Qutlugh Nigar Khanum, a daughter of Yunus Khan, the ruler of
Moghlistan (and great-great grand son of Tughlugh Timur, the son of
Esen Buqa ll who was the great-great-great grand sons of Chaghatai
Khan, the second son of Genghis Khan. Tarkhans were also relative
of Babur. Sultan Ahmed Mirza was born in 1451 AD, the year in which
his father took the thorn of Samarkand. He was Sultan Abu Said
Mirza eldest son, his mother was a daughter of Aurdu-Bugha Tarkhan,
the elder sister of Darwesh Mohammad Tarkhan and most honoured of
Mirza's wife, Mihr Nigar Khanum. She was Yunus Khan's eldest

The name of Genghis Khan was Temujin,which means iron
worker.According to Ibn Batutah the Genghis Khan was in his outset
a blacksmith in the country of Khita .The historians societies such
as GokTurks, Khazars, Oughurs,all were Turkic peoples descended
from Ashina Clan, a subtribe of Xiongnu/Hun,they were iron worker
and Manufactured weapons.Their rulers adopted the titles Khans,
Tarkhan, Khakan Yabghu, Shad etc. We can deduce the fact that the
title Tarkhan originally has something with the vocation identitely
of Gokturks. Ashina clan the legendary father of the ancient Turkic
people were engaged in metal working.Genghis Khan was descended
from Oghuz/Oghur Turkic tribe,may be Mongolic because The Oghuz
Kagan belonged to Mughal I-Amak, but it is certain that Genghis
Khan descended from a Oghuz/oghur tribe, Tarkhan family especially
The Ashina Clan (golden family), a sub group of Xiongnu/Hun. They
were engaged in metal working. They erected a Foundry for iron work
in a mountain called Ergenekon. They were true Mughals and called
Arkanakon Smiths.
