The only other name that occurs in the history of Eastern Turkistan as that of a ruler of Kashghar, is one Ismail Khan, who was apparently the last of all the Moghuls to fill that position, if indeed, he was a ruler, or 'Khan,' in the proper sense of the word. It would seem from Mr. Shaw's fragmentary papers, mentioned in note 2, p. 121, above, that he was a great-grandson of Rashid Sultan, and he is shown in this degree, in the genealogical table at the end of Section II. of this Introduction. He must have lived in the third quarter of the seventeenth century when the Khwajas held the real and practical authority in the State; while at a somewhat earlier date we hear of one Muhammad Khan as governor at Yarkand, Abdulla at Khotan, Khudabanda at Aksu, and a certain Abdur Rashid in the districts of Kuchar and Turfan. But how these personages were descended we are not told. It is probable that all were grandsons or great-grandsons of Rashid Sultan, but it cannot be so said for certain. - [Previous: 10.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.6) - [Next: 10.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.3.1) - [Up: 10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.7) · Pramāṇa
