v1.c8.76
A.D. 1526.—The date of the extinction of the dynasty is 1526; but long before that period, there were, in fact, five separate states under Mahomedan kings in the Deccan. 1. Edil Shahee, or Beejapoor; 2. Kootub Shahee, Golcondah, or Hyderabād; 3. Ummad Shahee, or Berar; 4. Nizam Shahee, or Ahmednugur; and, 5. Bureed Shahee, or Ahmedabad Beder. Of these five independent states, which sprang from the dismemberment of the first Mahomedan kingdom, only three existed at the period when the Mahratta people began to emerge from subjugation and to be conspicuous as actors in the affairs of India.
