A History of the Mahrattas v1.c25.80

v1.c25.80

² [The first Bābi (Babey) entered Hindustan with Humāyun, and under Shāh Jahān, Bahādur Khān Bābi was made Faujdār of Tharad. His grandson, Jāfar Khān, obtained the faujdāri of Rādhanpur and three other districts; and Khān Jahān, son of Jāfar Khān, received the title of Jawān Mard Khān and was made Governor of Rādhanpur, Pātan, Vadnagar, Visalnagar, and other districts. His son, Kamal-ud-dīn Khān, usurped the governorship of Ahmadābād after the death of Aurangzeb, during the incursions of the Marāthās, and may perhaps, like his father, have held the title of Jawān Mard Khān. A branch of the Bābi family established itself at Junāgadh in 1738, and at Bālāsinor in 1761. (I.G. (1907), xxi. 23.)]
