Habi’b Ali’ Kha’n. The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 364 - **Language:** English ### [364](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.364) He is not to be confounded with the Habib ’Ali Khan mentioned on p. 422. Habib was at first in the service of Bairam Khan. In the third year, when Akbar had marched to Agrah, he ordered Habib to assist Qiya Khan (No. 33) in the conquest. Towards the end of the fourth year, Akbar sent him against Rantanbhur. This fort had formerly been in the possession of the Afghans, and Salim Shah had appointed Jhujhar Khan governor. On Akbar’s accession, Jh. saw that he would not be able to hold it against the Imperialists, and handed it over to Rai Surjan (No. 96), who was then in the service of Rana Udai Singh. But Habib had to raise the siege. Abulfazl attributes this want of success partly to fate, partly to the confusion which Bairam’s fall produced. In the 6th year (968), he served under Adham (No. 19) in Malwah. According the Tabaqat, he died in 970. - [Previous: 363](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.363) - [Next: 365](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.365) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.364](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.364) · Pramāṇa
