Akbar, who regarded Sind as a province of his empire, resented Jānī Beg’s failure to appear at his court, and in 1591 sent ‘Abd-ur-Rahīm Khān, Khān Khānān, to invade the country. He defeated Jānī Beg in two engagements, compelled him to surrender both Tattah and Sehwān, and carried him to Akbar’s court at Lahore. Here he was well received, and was appointed governor of the Multān province, and shortly afterwards, owing to the clamours of the Arghūn clan for the return of their old ruler, was restored to Sind as governor of the province. He died at Burhānpur in 1599, and his son Mīrzā Ghāzī Beg Tarkhān was appointed to the government of Sind, the history of which was merged thenceforward in that of the Mughul empire.
