The Memoirs of Bābur 1.9

1.9

Having arranged the affairs of the country in such a way as to give a prospect of its being kept quiet, on Sunday, the 11th of the first Rabi', I marched from Bahrah on my return to Kabul. * * * Some persons who were acquainted with the country, and with the political situation of the neighbouring territories, and particularly the Janjuhah, who were the old enemies of the Gakkars, represented to me that Hati the Gakkar had been guilty of many acts of violence, had infested the highways by his robberies, and harassed the inhabitants; that therefore it was necessary either to effect his expulsion from this quarter, or, at least, to inflict on him exemplary punishment.
