It is pertinent to mention that the “Kazak Khanate” was established by Janibek Khan and Kerei Khan in 1465 and both khans came from the Turco-Mongol clan of Tore which traces its lineage to Genghis Khan through dynasty of Jochids.
The Kazakh Khanate, also known as the Kazakh Khanate of the Middle Horde, was a historical state that existed from the 15th century to the 19th century in the territory of present-day Kazakhstan.
The Kazakh Khanate was a confederation of various tribes and clans, and its leadership was not always hereditary, and the title of “Khan” was often held by prominent leaders of the Kazakh tribes who managed to gain authority and recognition among the various Kazakh groups.
The founding leader Janibek Khan (1465–1480) is considered one of the early leaders of the Kazakh Khanate and played a significant role in unifying the Kazakh tribes, while Kasym Khan (1511–1523) was a prominent leader of the Kazakh Khanate who expanded its territory and influence during his reign.
Ablai Khan (1771–1781) also known as Abul Khair Khan, was one of the most famous and influential Khans of the Kazakh Khanate.
He is remembered for his efforts to strengthen the Kazakh state and defend its independence against external threats.
