Mahabat Khan Originally known as Zamana Beg, the title of Mahabat
Khan was
conferred on him by jahangir. He proved to be a very capable
general and
was sent to Mewar to fight against Rana Amar Singh whom he
defeated.
But under Nur Jahan’s influence, jahangir neglected him for 12
years which
resulted in his frustration and ultimately revolt during which
period
(1626) he even kept the emperor as his prisoner for a short while. On
the
accession of Shah Jahan whom he supported for the throne, he was given
a high post
and was responsible for the completion of the conquest of
Ahmadnagar.
