In October 1704, Nima Sindhia was reported to be again advancing towards Malwa, and Bidar Bakht was warned to be ready for the danger. [Akh. 20 Oct.] In February 1700 Nasiri Afghan was out with 2000 followers. In this year and the next Gopal Singh Chandawat's rebellion disturbed some parts of the province. [Akhbarat.] Another rebel was Gopal Chaudhuri of Sironj. [Ch. 59 § 6.] Nawazish Khan, faujdar of Mandu from about 1700 to 1704, had to wage many small campaigns against local rebels and Maratha bands from beyond the Narmada, as we learn from his letter-book.† Abbas Afghan was reported as raiding the highways and stopping the mails. Umar (another Pathan) broke out of his prison in Sholapur and reached Kotri Paraya to take to plundering again. [*Akh.* 5 July 1699.]
