Dughlat

The Dughlat were a Turco-Mongol clan that held the western Tarim cities under the Chagatai khans. In 1337 their lands included Kashgar, a centre of their hereditary rule.

In 1347 Amir Bulaji raised Tughlugh Timur to the throne of Moghulistan. His brother Qamar ud-Din killed Khan Ilyas Khoja, claimed the title of khan and fought Timur, disappearing during the invasion of 1390. Mirza Aba Bakr later ruled independently from Yarkand until Sultan Said Khan overthrew him in 1514. Mirza Muhammad Haidar conquered Kashmir in 1541 and wrote the Tarikh-i Rashidi there before his death in a revolt in 1551.
