There is a good deal of confusion about the three or four persons who all bore the name of Yūsuf, and who were connected with Kashmīr in the last days of its independence. Part of this is due to the pedantry of A. F. who insists on calling the last King of Kashmīr Yūsuf K. instead of Yūsuf Shāh. He seems to have been well entitled to the name of King, for he was son of the 'Alī K. Chāk who was King of Kashmīr and was accidentally killed while playing polo. And when the latter died, he seems to have been recognized by the people of Kashmīr as their king. Indeed, A. F. himself calls him, in his list of kings in the Āīn Akbarī, Jarrett, p. 380, Yūsuf Shāh and makes him have two reigns. See also the Ma'āir U. III, 954. Then there was the Yūsuf Reẓavī who was a Persian Saiyid and never seems to have been more than a farmer of Kashmīr under Akbar, though B. speaks of him as governor of Kashmīr. He ended his days in the Deccan. He is described in B. 346 as Mīrzā Yūsuf K., s. Mīr Aḥmad Reẓavī. He is the Yūsuf K. of B. 480, and B. tells us that he must not be confounded with No. 388. But it seems to me that B. must have written this caution after he had made the confusion; for, the M. Y. K. of B., whose people assumed a threatening attitude, must be, I think, not the Reẓavī M. Y. K., but the Yūsuf Chāk who became King of Kashmīr. The Persian Index also has confounded the two Yūsufs, for the Reẓavī never got a fief in Bihār. Nor can the Reẓavī, I think, be the M. Y. K. who, according to B. 347, was reinstated at Selīm's request. Yūsuf Shāh had a son Ya'qūb who also became king of the country for a short time. Then there was another Yūsuf who was only a servant of Yādgār the bald man and who was killed by A.'s men. Yūsuf Shāh is the Yūsuf K. Kashmīrī of the Ma'āir U. III, 954, who is said, at p. 956, l.c., to have been put under the charge of Todar Mal. I have said elsewhere that Todar Mal probably was never in Kashmīr, and I do not think this statement is contradicted by the above statement that Yūsuf Shāh was put in charge of T. M.; for, even if this was so, it does not follow that Todar Mal ever was in Kashmīr. For, Yūsuf Shāh escaped after he was put under arrest, and got himself recognized as king of the country.
