Qāsim Barīd aimed at extending his power by reducing to obedience the provincial governors, and proceeded first against Yūsuf ‘Ādil Shāh by inciting Sāluva Timma, the regent of Vijayanagar, to attack him. The Hindus invaded Rāichūr Doāb and captured both Rāichūr and Mudgal. Qāsim then induced Ahmad Nizām Shāh and Khvāja Jahān of Parenda to join him, and attacked Yūsuf near Gulbarga, but Ahmad disappointed him by taking no part in the action, and Qāsim and Khvāja Jahān were defeated.
