Tegin Sha
Tegin ( otk, 𐱅𐰃𐰏𐰤, Tegin, also tigin, MC *''dək-gɨn'' > Pinyin: ''Tèqín''; , erroneously ''Tèlè'' ) is a Turkic title, commonly attachable to the names of the junior members of the Khagan's family. However, Ligeti cast doubts on the Turkic provenance by pointing to the non-Turkic plural form ''tegit'' History History records many people carrying the title Tegin. The best known is Kül Tigin (, erroneously ), noted for the stele in his memory in the Orkhon inscriptions. Some Tegins founded and headed their own states. Alp-Tegin, founder of the Ghazni state, which grew into the Ghaznavid Empire; Arslan Tegin and Bughra Tegin, both instrumental in the creation of the Kara-Khanid Kaganate.

White Hun
The Hephthalites ( xbc, ηβοδαλο, translit= Ebodalo), sometimes called the White Huns (also known as the White Hunas, in Iranian as the ''Spet Xyon'' and in Sanskrit as the ''Sveta-huna''), were a people who lived in Central Asia during the 5th to 8th centuries CE. They formed an empire, the Imperial Hephthalites, and were militarily important from 450 CE, when they defeated the Kidarites, to 560 CE, when combined forces from the First Turkic Khaganate and the Sasanian Empire defeated them. After 560 CE, they established "principalities" in the area of Tokharistan, under the suzerainty of the Western Turks (in the areas north of the Oxus) and of the Sasanian Empire (in the areas south of the Oxus), before the Tokhara Yabghus took over in 625. The Imperial Hephthalites, based in Bactria, expanded eastwards to the Tarim Basin, westwards to Sogdia and southwards through Afghanistan, but they never went beyond the Hindu-Kush, which was occupied by the Alchon Huns, prev ...

Amin Khan Aitigin
Amin Khan Aitigin ( bn, আমীন খাঁন আইতগিন, fa, امین خان آیتگین) was the Governor of Oudh and Lakhnauti (Bengal) under the Mamluk dynasty of Delhi in 1272. He was deposed the same year he took office. Biography Following the death of Governor Sher Khan in 1272, Amin Khan was appointed as the Governor of Oudh and Bengal by Ghiyas ud din Balban, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. Since most of Bengal had been under the control of the Eastern Ganga dynasty for over 30 years, he remained a weak governor with little money or power. This led to Tughral Tughan Khan, a former Governor of Bengal, being appointed by Balban as the deputy governor of Bengal. Soon after, Tughral deposed Amin on the banks of the Ghaghara and declared himself the new Governor. Thus Amin Khan's short lived governorship ended in the same year he took office.
