From 1657 until 1873, the rulers of Badakhshan belonged to the Yarid dynasty. [1] They were ethnically Tajik but claimed descent from Alexander the Great. [2] They were Muslims belonging to the Sunni branch of Islam. These rulers usually carried the titles of Shah, Mir, or Amir. [3] In 1873 the last Mir of Badakhshan became a pensioner of Kabul and all power shifted to the Hakim of Badakhshan. [4]
