For Amír Khán was a wise and intelligent man, and was every day setting the Emperor against the Nawáb Kamru-d dín Khán and the Mughal and Túrán nobles. By the force of his observations, and excellent judgment of character, he was gaining his object; so they banished him from Court on pretence of giving him the súbaddárship of Alláhábád, which had been settled upon him for some time. - [Previous: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.7) - [Next: 2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.9) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.8) · Pramāṇa
