52

[Text, vol. iii. p. 109.] Whilst Khan-khanan was absent on the campaign against Daud in Katak, Kala Pahar, Babui Mangali, and a number of disaffected Afghans, took arms and attacked the Kakshals. These made but a faint resistance, and were dishonoured by their pusillanimity. The Afghans occupied the territory of Ghora-ghat, and pursued the Kakshals, not allowing them to draw rein until they reached Tanda. The Khan-khanan returned in haste, and, without entering Tanda, proceeded at once against the enemy. He found the turbulent force posted on the other side of the Ganges. Not far off the river divides into two branches. Over one of these he cast a bridge, and was preparing to do so over the other, when the enemy took the alarm and fled. Khan-khanan then proceeded to Malda, and sent a detachment under Majnun Khan to Ghora-ghat, which quickly brought the place again under the Imperial authority.
