Dost Mohammad Khan, Nawab of Bhopal


 Dost Mohammad Khan (c. 1657–1723) was the usurper of the Bhopal State in central India He laid out the modern city of Bhopal, the capital of the Madhya Pradesh state.

A  shia Pashtun from Tirah, Dost Mohammad Khan served the Mughal imperial army as a soldier at Delhi in 1703. He rapidly rose through the ranks by deceit and flattery and was assigned to the Malwa province in central India. After the death of the emperor Aurangzeb, Khan started providing mercenary services to several local chieftains in the politically unstable Malwa region. In 1709, he took on the lease of Berasia estate, while serving the small Rajput principality of Mangalgarh as a mercenary. He invited his Pashtun kinsmen to Malwa to create a group of loyal associates.[5] Khan successfully protected Mangalgarh from its other Rajput neighbors, married into its royal family, and usurped the state after the death of its heirless dowager Rani.



What a thoroughly pleasant personality. He kills his cousin in anger and is thrown out. He comes to India as a mercenary and builds his kingdom immorally by breaking truces and killing kings by deceit and usurping their kingdoms.

  4. The owner of this blog was a Balochi. He was active on a forum which is now defunct. He spoke Balochi with another Baloch (who was not anti-Pashtun like him) and the latter verified that he is a genuine Baloch. On that forum, he informed us that he will create a blog about Pashtun history in which he will copy paste stuff from Wikipedia and will insert his own lines in it, and "stupid pathans" will accept it as facts.
