A History of the Mahrattas v1.c17.135

v1.c17.135

It was during the memorable siege of Golcondah that Sultan Mauzum, falling under the unjust suspicion of the Emperor, was placed in confinement; and he remained in that situation in his father’s camp for six years, when he was released and sent as governor to Cabul. His only fault seems to have been a remonstrance in behalf of the persecuted object of the Emperor’s unjust enmity, more honourable and generous than judicious, as it was attended with such effects to himself and to the unfortunate Abou Hoossein, who was sent to the fortress of Doulutabad, where he ended his days.¹
