KULIA—KULIT
v
KULlAI—
A tribe of Kurds who number about 4,000 families.
Their chiefs in 1907 were Amlnullah Khan, Amln-ul-Lashkar and Haidar
’Ali Khan Sartip.
Their property in villages is very great and extends from As’adabad on
one side, to the province of Kurdistan on the other.
They are under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Sunqur, to whom they
are answerable for the revenue.
Mr. T. C. Plowden, who passed through Kirmanshah in 1881, tells us that
this tribe was wealthy until ruined by the exactions of ’Ali Quli Mi cza. Saram-
ud-Dauleh, who having been appointed by his father Imam Quli Mirza,
Imad-ud-Dauleh, “ Hakim of the Kuliai,” plundered them right and left.
In former days the tribe furnished an infantry regiment, but for some cause
or other the privilege was withdrawn.
The Suffiavand, who are connected with this tribe, and whose chief is
Fathullah Khan, claimed to be Turkish subjects, but Persia had the case
decided in her favour. The Kuliais are Shi’ahs. They have the command of
extensive pastures and rear large numbers of small hardy horses and mules.
The women weave carpets and woollen socks and gloves. The Kuliais are
said to be able to turn out 700 fully equipped horsemen.
In 1907 the Kuliais were divided as follows :—
Bagavand : chief—Haidar ’Ali Khan Sartip.
