v1.c15.s1.1
When the Emperor Muhammad Shah learnt of the defeat of the Afghan invader and the death of his wazir Qamruddin at Mānupur (11th March, 1748), he appointed the wazir's son Muin-ul-mulk subahdār of Lāhor. This was quite natural, as the late wazir had held the subahdāri of Lāhor in addition to the Chancellorship of the Empire and Muin had greatly distinguished himself in the battle that ended in Abdali's defeat. Muin's orders were to chase the Afghan king out of India and recover possession of the Panjāb.
