Mir Painda Khan (died September 1844) was a powerful Tanoli〔( Pedigree and details )〕 chief of the North-West Frontier region of India. He played a considerable part in fighting the Sikh Empire of the region.〔 Richard Burns, ed. Imperial Gazetteer of India, vol. 23 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1908), (p. 219 )〕 The son of Mir Nawab Khan, from about 1813, Painda Khan began the series of rebellions against the Sikhs which continued throughout his lifetime. To combat Khan, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, sent Hari Singh Nalwa to Hazara as governor, and Singh created a number of forts at strategic locations. Painda Khan became famed for his rebellion against Singh. Painda Khan's rebellion against the Sikh empire cost him much of his kingdom, leaving only the tract around Amb,〔''The Gazetteer of North-West Frontier Province'', p. 138〕 with its twin capitals of Amb and Darband. In 1828, Painda Khan gave the territory of Phulra as an independent Khanate to his brother Maddad Khan. This was later recognised by the British as a self-governing princely state. Painda Khan also took over the valley of Agror in 1834. The Swatis appealed to Sardar Hari Singh, who was unable to help them, but in 1841〔Charles Francis Massy, ''Chiefs and families of note in the Delhi, Jalandhar, Peshawar and Derajat'', p. 435〕 Hari Singh's successor restored Agror to Atta Muhammad, a descendant of Mullah or Akhund Sad-ud-din.〔Imperial Gazetteer of India, vol. 5, p. 92.〕 James Abbott, British deputy commissioner at Hazara in 1851〔The Abbott from whom the administrative capital of Abbottabad takes its name〕 commented that Abbott further described Painda Khan as "a Chief renowned on the Border, a wild and energetic man who was never subjugated by the Sikhs".〔 General Dhaurikal Singh, commanding officer of the Sikh troops in Hazara, ordered Painda Khan to be poisoned in September 1844, and this resulted in Painda Khan's death. He was succeeded by his son Jehandad Khan. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mir Painda Khan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
