Little Detail about the Family of Babur
Family: Genghisid Timurid Chughtai Turk (Burjeen)
Who are the burjeen (بورجین)?
Burjeegan (بورجیگان) literally means blue-eyed wolves.
Genghis and his descendants, Timur and his descendants, both belong to the same family. This family is called the Burjeen family. And the genealogy of Amir Timur and Genghis Khan becomes one on Tomana Khan.
Genghis Khan and his descendants are from Qabal Khan, the eldest son of Tomana Khan and the Amir Timur and his descendants are from Kajoli Khan Bahadur, the youngest son of Tomana Khan.
Tomana Khan had divided the responsibilities among his sons during his lifetime. According to these responsibilities, Qabal Khan and his descendants will rule as kings, while Kajoli Khan Bahadur and his descendants would perform the duties of commander-in-chief. The treaty was preserved by being engraved on a steel plate, and is also mentioned by Amir Timur in his autobiography "Tazak Timuri".
Therefore, the commander of Genghis Khan's father Yasugai Bahadur was also one of the descendants of Kajoli Khan Bahadur. Genghis Khan's general Qarachar Nawyan (after whom is Amir Timur and his descendants) was also one of the descendants of Qajoli Khan Bahadur.
And when Genghis Khan divided his empire among his sons, the commander-in-chief of each of his sons' empires was made from the descendants of Kajoli Khan Bahadur according to the same agreement.
