Cause of revolt of Khan-I-Jahan
Khan-I-Jahan Lodi was among the sons
of Daulat Khan Lodi who was an officer in the times of Akbar. He had also been
Governor of Gujarat and Deccan in the regime of Jahangir. He was very close to
the Emperor and Began Noorjahan. The governorship of Deccan was given to him
after the death of Prince Parvez. He not only sold Balaghat to Nozam Shah of
Ahmadnagar for three lakh rupees but also embezzled the royal money.
After the accession of Shahjahan,
Khan-I-Jahan invaded Malwa with a view to raise the standard of revolt against
the emperor but realizing that he would not be able to attain victory against
the imperial forces, he surrendered before the Emperor.
Being afraid of punishment he thought
it worthwhile to flee from Agra and he executed is plan into action on 5th
October, 1629 A.D. passing through Malwa and Bundelkhand he reached Ahmadnagar
where he was welcomed and provided military assistance. Ultimately shahjahan
succeeded in suppressing the revolt and defeated Khan-I-Jahan. In order to take
refuge, he fled towards Bijaput but he could not get shelter there. During the
course of his flight, he had to struggle with the royalists. The death of
Dariya Khan shock Khan-I-Jahan to the root. When Khan-I-Jahan reached kalinjar,
the keeper of the fort, Sayyid Ahmad, attacked him. A large number of supporters
of Khan-I-Jahan were killed in this struggle and his second son Hasan was
imprisoned but he escaped.
Khan-I-Jahan now felt that his end
was quite near. He fought his last battle at Sihonda along with his sons Aziz
and Aimal but they were defeated and killed by Madho Singh.
