About Salemai

'''Salemai Whit Mason attributes the Safi uprising to "extremely brutal taxation, oppression and poverty".

King Religious scholars among the Safi ruled that anyone who rebelled against their king and died should be excluded from being counted as martyrs.

By the end of October 1945, most of the Safis, except for a few die-hards had come to terms with the Afghan government. This peace agreement included among other things the abandonment or postponement of Safi conscription. but all sources agree that the Safi uprising had subsided by the end of 1946.

Later life In 1947, Salemai had a reunion in Shulgara with Shahswar and Amanul Mulk. Afterwards, Salemai fades out of the historical record.
