The Riyazu-s-salatin (Abdus Salam) 85 - **Language:** English ### [85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.85) When on the 19th Jamadi-ul-Sani 1014 A.H., Nuru-d-din Muhammad Jahangir Badshah, in the fort of Agra, ascended the Imperial throne, inasmuch as from official despatches, news-letters, and the correspondence of officers, news of the insurrection of 'Osman Khan was continually received, on the very day of his accession, the Emperor, bestowing rich khill'at with charged, and a sword set in jewel, and a splendid horse, appointed Rajah Man Singh to the Nizamat of the Subah of Bengal, whilst Wazir Khan was exalted to the office of Diwan and Auditor of this Province. After their arrival in this country, the refractory 'Osman advanced to fight, and a battle ensued. 'Osman with great shrewdness opened secret negotiations. As the war was protracted, and the extirpation of the Afghans was not accomplished, in that very year of accession, Rajah Man Singh was recalled from office, and Qutbu-d-din Khan Kokaltash was exalted to his place, being the recipient at the same time of khil'ats with a belt set in jewels, and of a horse with gold-mounted saddle. The Viceroyalty of Rajah Man Singh lasted eight months and a few days. - [Previous: 84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.84) - [Next: 86.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.86.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.85) · Pramāṇa
