The Institutes of Akbar 363: 132. Sali’m Kha’n Ka’kar.

363

Several MSS. of the Ain call him Selim Khan Kakar’Ali. The Akbarnamah calls him Salim Khan Kakkar, or merely Salim Khan, or Salim Khan Sirmaur. The Tabaqat has Salim Khan Sirmaur Afghan.
He served in the beginning of the 6th year in the conquest of Malwah, and later under Mu’izzulmulk (No. 61) in Audh, and was present in the battle of Khairabad. In 980, he took a part in the fight of Sarnal. He then served in Bengal, and was jagirdar of Tajpur. In the 28th year, he accompanied Shahbaz Khan (No. 80) to Bhati. As there were no garrisons left in Upper Bengal, Vazir Khan having gone to the frontier of Orisa, Jabari (vide p. 370, note 2) made an inroad from Kuch Bihar into G’horaghat, and took Tajpur from Salim’s men, and Purniah from the relations of Tarson Khan (No. 32). Jabari moved as far as Tandah. The Kotwal, Hasan ’Ali, was sick, and Shaikh Allah Bakhsh Sadr fled in precipitate haste. Fortunately, Shaikh Farid arrived, and Jabari withdrew to Tajpur. In the 32nd year, Salim served under Matlab Khan (No. 83) against the Tarikis, and shortly after, in the 32nd year, under C’adiq Khan against the same Afghan rebels.
He was no longer alive in 1001.
