Sultan Mohammad Khan (Pashto/Persian: سلطان محمد خان; 1795 – 1861), also known as Ghazi Sardar Sultan Mohammad Talaei,[1] and known by his epithet, Sultan Mohammad Khan the Golden[2] was an Afghan chief minister and regent. He was a powerful brother of Emir Dost Mohammad Khan, the eventual ruler of Afghanistan who seized control of Kabul from him. Prior to and during the reign of Dost Mohammad Khan, Sultan Muhammad Khan Telai was chief minister and governor of various regions of Afghanistan, including Kabul, Peshawar and Kohat. He was the first of the Musahiban, a Mohammadzai dynasty that began with him and ruled Afghanistan for more than 150 years, in various forms such as emir, king or president from 1823 to 1978.[3]
An ethnic Pashtun, Mohammad Khan Talaei was the 15th son of Sardar Payendah Khan (chief of the Barakzai tribe), who was killed in 1799 by Zaman Shah Durrani.[4] Sultan Muhammad Khan's grandfather was Hajji Jamal Khan.
