Isma’i’l Quli’ Kha’n, brother of Khán Jahán (No. 24). The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 270 - **Language:** English ### [270](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.270) He must not be confounded with No. 72. He was caught in the battle near Jálindhar (p. 317). He joined Akbar’s service with his brother, under whom he mostly served. When his brother had died in Bengal, he came with the immense property he had left behind him to Court, and was favorably received. In the 30th year, he was sent against the Balúchís (vide No. 44). On his arrival in Balúchistán, the people soon submitted, and their chiefs, Ghází Khán Wajhiyah and Ibráhím Khán, repaired to Court, and were allowed to retain the country. In the 31st year, when Bhagwán Dás (No. 27), on account of his madness, had not been allowed to go to Zábulistán, I. Q. was sent there instead. But he committed certain improprieties and fell into disgrace, and was ordered to go from Bhakkar to Makkah. He begged hard to be forgiven; but he was not allowed to see the Emperor, and was sent against the Yusufzais. At that time epidemics were raging in Bajaur, and the chiefs of the Yusufzais came forward and submitted to I. Q., whilst Zain Khan (No. 34), governor of Zabulistan, pressed hard upon Jalalah Raushani, who had left Terah and entered Bajaur. Zain Khan therefore entered the district, determined to use the opportunity to wipe off the disgrace of his former defeat. The arrival of Cadiq Khan (No. 43), however, who had been sent from Court, to occupy the district, and capture Jalalah, annoyed I. Q. still more, as he thought that that duty might have been left to him as T'hanahdar of the district. I. Q. forgot himself so far as to allow Jalalah to escape. He then went to Court, where he was severely reprimanded for his conduct. In the 33rd year, he was made Governor of Gujrat. In the 36th year, when Prince Murad had been made Governor of Malwah, I. Q. was appointed his ataliq or Vakil; but he gave no satisfaction, and was called to Court, Cadiq Khan having been appointed in his stead. In the 39th year, he was sent to Kalpi, to look after his jagir. In the 42nd year (1005), he was made a Commander of Four Thousand. He was given to luxury, and spent large sums on carpets, vessels, dress, &c. He kept 1200 women, and was so jealous of them, that whenever he went to Court, he put his seal over the strings attached to their night-drawers. The women resented this and other annoyances, made a conspiracy, and poisoned him. Three sons of his are mentioned below—1. Ibrahim Quli (No. 322), a commander of Three Hundred; 2. Salim Quli (No. 357), and 3. Khalil Quli (No. 358), both commanders of Two Hundred. They do not appear to have distinguished themselves. - [Previous: 269](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.269) - [Next: 271](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.271) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.270](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.270) · Pramāṇa
