Who was Jan-Fishan Khan?

Jan-Fishan Khan, born Sayyid Muhammed Shah, was a 19th-century Afghan warlord who participated in the First Anglo-Afghan War and the subsequent Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Jan-Fishan Khan was the son of an Afghan noble, Sayyid Qutubuddin Khan, of Paghman, the family's ancestral home in Afghanistan. His family has historically claimed descent from Ali ar-Ridha, the eighth Imam, through Najmuddin Kubra and the Afghan Sufi Syed Bahaudin Shah.
