Kalmuk is Western Mongolian.
The Kalmuqs of Astrakhan and the
Volga were absorbed into the Horde of Jochi the eldest son of
Cingis Qan.
The Kalmuqs were the remnants of
the Golden Horde
and the White Horde. When Uzbek Khan
converted to Islam he led many Mongols to Islam
which forced a split between Uzbek Mongols and
Kalmuk Mongols.
Kandahar
The city of Kandahar is in
Southwest Afghanistan and has been the dividing
line between Persia and India for hundreds of
years at least.
Circa 1520 it was one of the
principle kingdoms of Babur's
empire.
Today Kandahar is primarily
Pashtun.
Originally founded and named
after Alexander (Iskander) the Great. Kandahar as
we know it today is very close to how it was laid
out by Ahmed Shah Durrani in 1761. Durrani was
the founder of the modern Afghan monarchy. he is
buried in an octagonal mausoleum next to the
shrine of the prophet's cloak.
Kandahar has served as the
headquarter of Taliban
and formerly the home of Mullah Omar

SHORT HISTORY: A Turkish population existing
since the 12th century. Their name comes from a
Kazakh word meaning Black Hat, referring the hat
worn by these nomad horsemen. Their ruler signed
a treaty with Emperor Peter the Great in 1722. In
1811, they become vassals of the Khans of Khiva
and Kungrad. In 1855, the title of Khan was
adopted by their ruler. In 1873, Karakalpak was
annexed by the Russian Empire. In 1925, it became
an autonomous republic and in 1932, an autonomous
Soviet Republic. Since 5/12/1936, reattached to
Uzbekistan.Karakalpak (Uzbekistan)

Karzai, Hamid.
Hamid Karzai is the son of the
late Abdul Ahad Karzai. With the death of his
father Hamid Karzai became the leader of the Popalzai Tribe
which ruled Afghanistan from 1747 to 1818. Karzai
is a blood relative of King Zahir Shah's wife.
Early on Karzai was a Taliban supporter but he
changed with the death of his father.
Karzai went in to Afghanistan
well before the fall of Taliban to raise his
tribe against the Taliban. Engaged in running gun
battles where he was badly out gunned Karzai was
able to fight the Taliban while recruiting
allies.
Ahmed Karzai, is a brother of
tribal chief Hamid Karzai,
Quayum Karzai is a brother of
tribal chief Hamid Karzai,
Karzai, Ahad
Khan.
Ahad Khan Karzai was assassinated
in Quetta by a motorcyclist who killed Karzai as
he returned home from his Mosque. He was the
leader of the Popalzai tribe one of the major
Durrani Pashtun tribes. I believe that the killer
was from Pakistani ISI
or possibly al-Qaeda.
Most people say Taliban was the killer but they
are all about the same thing.
Abdul Ahad Karzai was a Senator
in Kabul under the reign of King Zahir Shah.

N. B. I translate Kazak, Kazakh,
etc.. as "those who have left the
Horde" and therefore it was this split of
leaving the horde under Janibek that establishes
the Kazakhs as a people.

Khalis, Yunus.
Mullah Yunus Khalis was the
Mujahedin commander in Jalalabad in the
province of Nangahar
during the Russian war. He was Mullah Omar's
commander and is said not to differ fundamentally
with Mullah Omar's
extreme interpretation of Islam. Khalis is
Khugianay Pashtun, rumored to be in poor health.
Khalis was born in Gandomak Nangahar in 1919.
Mullah Yunus Khalis retook Jalalabad from Taliban 11/14/01
Khalis believed that the only
Constitution Afghanistan
needed was the Koran. His resistance went back to
at least 1974 where he accused Prince Daoud the
Prime Minister of being a Communist. He was noted
as one of the few resistance leaders who actually
led men in battle. Khalis led a breakaway faction
of Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar's Hezb-i-Islami. Khalis operated in
Nangahar and in Kabul. He mixed traditional
guerilla warfare with urban terrorism, murder and
kidnapping.

Khan, Ismail.
Ismail Khan, known as the ``Lion
of Herat,'' Age 54 or mid sixties. Ethnically
Khan is a Farsiwan Tajik.
Ismail Khan has been one of the
most important Afghans of the last 22 years. Khan
effectively started the Afghan Russian war when
he refused to open fire on a mob. Instead he
started the Herat massacre killing 350 Russian
advisors and their families. This massacre spread
and was a key factor in raising opposition to the
Russian invasion. He was the leader of the
resistance in the Herat area and became Governor
of the region after the war.
Taliban
bribed Abdul
Malik Pahlawan to sell him out. He was given
to Taliban and
imprisoned. He escaped and sought refuge in Iran.
Iran has used him as a threat against Taliban
finally backing him to invade Afghanistan in
summer of 2001. He should be seen as Iran's man
in the current conflict.
Just prior to the fall of Herat
Ismail Khan allowed Green Beret advisors to
assist his army and coordinate air strikes.

Knot Tying,
A professional Persian
Carpet weaver
averages roughly 4000 knots a day. A master
weaver can do 8000 knots in a day but very few
can do it day in and day out. Weavers in Tabriz use a hooked knife
and weave about 20 percent more. So if we look at
a Nain with 320 knots to the square inch, the
weaver probably averaged about 12 or 13 square
inches a day. That is equivalent to a one inch
strip 12 or 13 inches long. Based on 320 knots to
the square inch.
There is a myth that children tie
better knots. This is completely untrue and child
labor today is unheard of except in India,
Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Saddly some American
rug producers still participate in child labor.

After a short look at the main tribes of the
Haouz region the lecture seeks to prove the
common background of the carpets by comparing
their flatweaves. From there we follow the very
different but unique design lines of the knotted
pile carpets produced by three Arab tribes of the
Haouz of Marrakech, the Ahmar, Bousbéa and the
Rehamna. Icom textiles working group.

Identifying an Anti Atlas
Weaving Tribe
Only a few years ago carpets and weavings
named "Beni Yaacoub" reached the market
in remarkable numbers. Some of these pieces were
quite old and all showed different character
compared to most of the known tribes. Several
times I traveled to the remote areas of the
Central Anti Atlas in order to find out what Beni
Yaacoub stands for. Apart from textile artefacts
I found answers that help attribute some of the
pieces, but at the same time raise new questions
regarding others. Icom textiles working group.

In order to attract the modern
quality-conscious Turkish customer, the Covered
Bazaar has had to accept that it is competing
with high-level international and local goods, be
they woven, leather, ceramic or glass. Even in
the realm of carpets, a significant change is
occurring. Mehmet Kurtoglu is one of the
pioneers of this change which he sees less as a
revolution and more a natural evolution. He runs
his eponymous carpet and kilim shop on Zeneciler
Street as well as the Izmirli Balýkçý, a

has now opened an unrecognizably chic branch in
