In December, 1242, Tughril, governor of Bengal and the most powerful of the satraps, who resented Kurait Khān’s invasion of Bihār, though it had temporarily passed out of his possession, marched to Kara, on the Ganges above Allahabad, with the object of annexing to his government of Bengal that district and the province of Oudh, but the historian Minhāj-ud-dīn, who was accredited to his camp as the emissary of Tamar Khān, the new governor of Oudh, succeeded in persuading him to return peaceably to Bengal.
