They were leaders of mercenaries and foreigners, at least in part. He thinks some were probably remnants of the "New Musalmans" or converted Mughal settlers, though some were most certainly Afghan adventurers. - [Previous: c11.123](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.123) - [Next: c11.125](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.125) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11) ## Cites (1) - [Tārīkh-i Fīrūzshāhī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif) — Shams-i Sirāj ʿAfīf --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c11.124) · Pramāṇa
