In 1591 Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana took over the charge of Multan and proceeded South to Sindh in order to punish the Turkhans who were supported by Safavids of Iran and Portuguese. With the prayers and support of Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro, Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khanan, a commander of Akber conquered Sindh from Mirza Jani Beg Turkhan in 1590-91.
Mirza Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khanan bestowed a Jagir to Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro in Chanduka Parguna in Bakhar Sarkar (Northern sindh) for his valuable services during this military campaign. After some time Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro went over to Multan, to pay a visit to Makhdoom Lal Esan Qureshi, celebrated living saint of the time and a descendant of Sheikh Baháuddín Zakariya Multani. A large number of disciples joined him here and he was obliged to occupy a spacious tract of country. The movement under his governorship consolidated its position in the greater part of north-western Sindh.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
