v2.c13.s21.3

After this seizure, there was at this time no further pursuit of the fugitive Sayyids; their home villages were not confiscated nor their houses plundered. This forbearance is attributed to the intercession of Sayyid Nusrat Yar Khan, a native of the Barha village of Kaithora,* who had taken the side of the Turanis. Muhammad Amin Khan, however, did not approve of this clemency, and gave orders to his *amil* or manager, Abdul-latif Beg, then present with five thousand horsemen in the new Wazir's fiefs of Budaon and Sambhal, to cross the Ganges into the Duaba and lay waste the Barha country. Nothing came of this attempt. The Sayyids collected the Gujars and other tribes dwelling on their estates, and "broke the covetous teeth of the Mughals"; and as that "old dodger," Muhammad Amin Khan, died soon after, they were left for the time in peace.
