Bījāpur had recently suffered on her northern frontier as she was now suffering on the south. The truce with ‘Abdul-Karīm Khān, who had risen to power avowedly as chief of the party opposed to the imperial pretensions, was not unnaturally disapproved by Aurangzīb, who recalled Bahādur Khān from the Deccan and instructed Dilīr Khān to attack the hostile kingdom. Gulbarga was captured on 18 July and Naldrug on 13 August, 1677.
