Hi, Badshah holds the sense of Vice-Emperor. Only the Shahenshah of Iran that is to say the King of Kings of Iran can be called Shahenshah Even the Ottomans that despised the Safavid Shah's realized that it would be ridiculous to call themselves as anything other than Badshah, because only the ruler of Persia can be called Shahenshah without it sounding silly.
[edit] indian equal
should'nt the Indian Equal be Maharajadhiraja or Samrat ? Tikka Sangram Singh (talk) 02:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I think that's correct. Kshatrapati is too close to bhupati. Any ruler can assume that title which denotes nothing more that internal sovereignty. G. Berkemer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.148.111.96 (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
[edit] misleading infomation
'There is a large family of Turkish origin using the surname Badi in modern-day Libya. They were originally called "Padishah" due to their Military rank in the Ottoman Army,'
a padişah of Ottoman Empire was the supreme power, simply padişah was the emperor, until the Tazminat, padişah ruled the empire with monarchy..
you may refer to Pashas who were the high ranked commanders, and tosun pashas one of the highest rank of ottoman military soon before it is defunct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.253.5.132 (talk) 22:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] About Etymology of Turkish word Pasha
There is a strong view that the word Pasha comes from Turkic word "beşe", meaning "son of a noble man". And there is another view that it comes from Persian word "baçça"(بچّه), which means "kid". In either ways, I think this word was not evolved from padishah. There is not a significant proof for it. For etymology of pasha, you can refer to a Turkish etymological dictionary, nisanyansozluk.com, http://www.nisanyansozluk.com/?k=pa%C5%9Fa 94.121.190.42 (talk) 14:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
