The Institutes of Akbar 277: 60. Majnun Khan-i Qaqshal.

277

He was a grandee of Humayun, and held Narnaul as jagir. When Humayun fled to Persia, Haji Khan besieged Narnaul, but allowed Majnun Khan to march away unmolested, chiefly at the request of Rajah Bihari Mall, who, at that time, was with Haji Khan (vide p. 329).
On Akbar’s accession, he was made Jagirdar of Manikpur, then the east frontier of the Empire. He remained there till after the death of Khan Zaman (No. 13), bravely defending Akbar’s cause. In the 14th year, he besieged Kalinjar. This fort was in the hands of Rajah Ram Chand, ruler of Bhat’h, who during the Afghan troubles had bought it, for a heavy sum, from Bijli Khan, the adopted son of Pahar Khan. When, during the siege, the Rajah heard of the fall of Chitor and Rantanbhur, he surrendered Kalinjar to M. (29th Safar, 977). Akbar appointed M. Commander of the Fort, in addition to his other duties.
In the 17th year (980), he accompanied Mun’im Khan (No. 11) on his expedition to Gorakhpur. At the same time the Gujrati war had commenced, and as Baba Khan Qaqshal had words with Shahbaz Khan, (No. 80), the Mir Tozak, regarding certain arrangements, he was reproved by Akbar. But the rumour spread in Mun’im’s army that Bābā Khān, Jabarī (Majnūn’s son), Mirzā Muhammad, and other Qāqshāls, had killed Shāhbāz Khān, and joined the rebellion of the Mirzās in Gujrāt; and that Akbar had therefore ordered Mun’im to imprison Majnūn. In consequence of these false rumours, M. and others of his clan withdrew from Mun’im, who in vain tried to convince them of the absurdity of the rumours ; but when M. soon after heard that Bābā Khān and Jabarī had been rewarded by Akbar for their brave behaviour in the Gujrātī war, he was ashamed of his hastiness, and rejoined Mun’im who, in the meantime, had taken Gorak’hpūr.
M. accompanied Mun’im on his Bengal expedition. When, in 982, Dā’ūd retired to Orīsā, and Kālā Pahāṛ, Sulaimān Manklī and Bābū Manklī had gone to Ghorāg’hāt, Mun’im sent M. against them. M. conquered the greater part of Northern Bengal, and carried off immense spoils. On the death of Sulaimān Manklī, the acknowledged ruler of G’horāg’hāt, a great number of the principal Afghān nobles were caught, and M. with the view of securing peace, married the daughter of Sulaimān Manklī to his son Jabarī. He also parcelled out the whole country among his clan. But Bābū Manklī and Kālā Pahāṛ had taken refuge in Kūch Bihār, and when Mun’im was in Katak, they were joined by the sons of Jalāluddīn Sūr, and fell upon the Qāqshāls. The latter, without fighting, cowardly returned to Tāndah, and waited for Mun’im, who, on his return from Orīsā, sent them with reinforcements to G’horāg’hāt. The Qāqshāls re-occupied the district. Majnūn died soon after at G’horāg’hāt.
The Tabaqāt says that he was a Commander of Five Thousand and had a contingent of 5,000 troopers.
His son Jabarī distinguished himself by his zeal and devotion. The enforcing of the Dāgh law led him and his clan into rebellion. Jabarī then assumed the title of Khān Jahān. When the Qāqshāls left Ma’sūm (p. 326), Jabarī went to Court. Akbar imprisoned him, but pardoned him in the 39th year.
