v1.c8.s10.3

While Abdullah Khan was still in expectation of a favourable reply to his letter to Jahandar Shah, he was surprised to learn that his Government had been taken from him, and that the deputy of the new governor was on his way to take possession. The province had been granted to a Gardezi Sayyid of Manikpur, subah Allahabad, one Raji Muhammad Khan,* who had risen to notice in the recent fighting at Lahor, and through the reputation thereby acquired had been appointed Mir Atash, or general of artillery. The new governor nominated as his deputy his relation, one Sayyid Abdul-ghaffar (a descendant of Sayyid Sadar Jahan, Sadar-us-sadur, Pihanwi).†
