has gloss | eng: Amir Khan III entitled Umdat ul Mulk was the son of the principal favorite of the emperor Alamgir of the same name and a descendant of the celebrated Shah Na’matullah Wali. He was himself a favorite of the emperor Muhammad Shah but was appointed governor of Allahabad in 1739 against his wishes due to the Vizier Qamar ud-Din Khan and re-called to court in 1743 CE. He was naturally of free speech and the emperor fond of his repartee had him more license in his conversation than was consistent with respect to his own dignity when he was on business with the emperor which by degrees disgusted Muhammad Shah and made him wish his removal from office. He was consequently with the consent of the emperor stabbed with a dagger by a person who had been discharged from his service and fell down dead on the spot. |
