He is not mentioned in the Maásir and the Ṭabaqát. From the Akbarnámah (II., p. 207) we see that he was Jágírdár of Sakít (in the Mainpúrí District). Near this town there were eight villages inhabited by robbers. In consequence of numerous complaints, Akbar resolved to surprise the dacoits. A great number were killed, and about one thousand of them were burnt in dwellings in which they had fortified themselves. Akbar exposed himself to great dangers: no less than seven arrows stuck in his shield, and his elephant fell with one foot into a grain pit, which threw the officer who was seated behind him with much force upon him. The fight chiefly took place in a village called in the MSS. <Arabic> or <Arabic>.
The Ṭabaqát mentions a Sulṭán Ibráhím of Aubah (near Harát) among Akbar's grandees. His name is not given in the A´ín. He was the maternal uncle of Nizamuddin Ahmad, author of the Ṭabaqát. He conquered Kamáon and the Dáman i Koh.
132. Sali´m Kha´n Ka´kar.
Several MSS. of the A´ín call him Salím Khán Kákar 'Alí. The Akbarnámah calls him Salím Khán Kákar, or merely Salím Khán, or Salím Khán Sirmúr. The Ṭabaqát has Salím Khán Sirmúr Afghán.
He served in the beginning of the 6th year in the conquest of Málwah, and later under Mu'izzulmulk (No. 61) in Audh, and was present in the battle of Khairábád. In 980, he took a part in the fight of Sarnál. He then served in Bengal, and was jágírdár of Tájpúr. In the 28th year, he accompanied Shahbáz Khán (No. 80) to Bháṭí. As there were no garrisons left in Upper Bengal, Vazír Khán having gone to the frontier of Oṛísá, Jabárí (vide p. 370, note 2) made an inroad from Kúch Bihár into G'horá'ghát, and took Tájpúr from Salím's men, and Púrniah from the relations of Tarson Khán (No. 32). Jabárí moved as far as Ṭánḍah. The Kotwál, Hasan 'Alí, was sick, and Shaikh Allah Baksh Çadr fled in precipitate haste. Fortunately, Shaikh Faríd arrived, and Jabárí withdrew to Tájpúr. In the 32nd year, Salím served under Maṭláb Khán (No. 83) against the Táríkís, and shortly after, in the 33nd year, under Çádiq Khán against the same Afghán rebels.
He was no longer alive in 1001.
133. Habi´b 'Ali´ Kha´n.
He is not to be confounded with the Habíb 'Alí Khán mentioned on p. 422.
Habíb was at first in the service of Bairám Khán. In the third year, when Akbar had marched to A´grah, he ordered Habíb to assist Qiyá Khán (No. 33) in the conquest. Towards the end of the fourth year, Akbar sent him against Rantanbhúr. This fort had formerly been in the possession of the Afgháns, and Salím Sháh had appointed Jhujhár Khán governor. On Akbar's accession, Jh. saw that he would not be able to hold it against the Imperialists, and handed it over to Rái Surjan (No. 96), who was then in the service of Ráná U´dai Singh. But Habíb had to raise the siege. Abulfazl attributes this want of success partly to fate, partly to the confusion which Bairám's fall produced.
In the 6th year (968), he served under Adham (No. 19) in Málwah. According the Ṭabaqát, he died in 970.
134. Jagma´l, younger brother of Rájah Bihárí Mall (No. 23).
He must not be confounded with No. 218. Jagmál was mentioned on p. 329. In the 8th year, he was made governor of Mírt'ha. In the 18th year, when Akbar marched to Patan and Ahmadábád, he was put in command of the great camp.
His son Kangár. He generally lived with his uncle Rájah Bihárí Mall at Court. When Ibráhím Husain Mírzá threatened to invade the A´grah District, he was ordered by the Rájah to go to Dihlí. In the 18th year, he joined Akbar at Patan. In the 21st year, he accompanied Mán Singh's expedition against Ráná Partáb. Later, he served in Bengal, chiefly under Shahbáz Khán (No. 80). When Shahbáz returned unsuccessfully from Bháṭí (p. 401), Kangár, Sayyid 'Abdullah Khán (No. 189), Rájah Gopál, Mírzádah 'Alí (No. 152) met a detachment of rebels and mistook them for their own men. Though surprised, the Imperialists held their ground and killed Naurúz Beg Qáqshál, the leader. They then joined Shahbáz, and arrived after a march of eight days at Sherpúr Múrcha.
According to the the Ṭabaqát, Kangár was in 1001 a Commander of Two Thousand. The phraseology of some MSS. implies that he was no longer alive in 1001.
135. Ulugh Kha´n Habshi´, formerly a slave of Sulṭán Mahmúd of Gujrát.
Ulugh Khán is Turkish for the Persian Khán i Kalán (the great Khán).
He rose to dignity under Mahmúd of Gujrát. The word Habshí, for which MSS. often have Badakhshí, implies that he was of Abyssinian extraction, or a eunuch. In the 17th year, when Akbar entered for the first time Ahmadábád, he was one of the first Gujrátí nobles that joined the Imperialists.
In the 22nd year, he served with distinction under Çádiq (No. 43) against Rájah Madhukar Bandelah, Zamíndár of U´ndchah. In the 24th year, he followed Çadiq, who had been ordered to assist Rájah Todar Mall on his expedition against the rebel 'Arab (Niyábat Khán) in Bihár. He commanded the left wing in the fight in which Khabíṭah (p. 356, note 1) was killed.
He died in Bengal.
136. Maqcu´d 'Ali´ Kor.
The Ṭabaqát says that Maqçúd was at first in Bairám Khán's service. He had been dead for a long time in 1001.
From the Akbarnámah (II., 96) we see that he served under Qiyá Khán (No. 33) in the conquest of Gwáhár.
137. Qabu´l Kha´n.
From the Akbarnámah (II., p. 450, last event of the 15th year of Akbar's reign) we see that Qabúl Khán had conquered the District of Bhambar on the Kashmír frontier. One of the Zamíndárs of the District, named Jalál, made his submission, and obtained by flattery a great power over Qabúl, who is said to have been a good-hearted Turk. Jalál not only managed on various pretexts to send away Qabúl's troops, but also his son Yádgar Husain (No. 338), to Naushahrah. The Zamíndárs of the latter place opposed Yádgár, and wounded him in a fight. Exhausted and wounded as he was, Yádgár managed to escape and took refuge with a friendly Zamíndár. About the same time Jalál collected his men and fell over Qabúl, and after a short struggle killed him (5th Rámazan, 978).
Akbar ordered Khán Jahán to invade the District. The lands of the rebellious Zamíndárs were devastated and summary revenge was taken on the ringleaders.
Yádgár Husain recovered from his wounds. He is mentioned below among the commanders of Two Thousand.
The Akbarnámah mentions another Qabúl Khán among the officers who served in the Afghán war in Bengal under Mun'im Khán Khánán. He was present in the battle of Takaroí and pursued the Afgháns under Todar Mall to Bhadrak (p. 375).
Neither of the two Qabúl Kháns is mentioned in the Ṭabaqát and the Maásir.
138. Ku´chak 'Ali´ Kha´n i Kola´bi´.
