Expeditions against Daud Khan Karrani
See also: Battle of Tukaroi

Akbar sent Munim Khan to suppress the Sultan of Bengal, Daud Khan Karrani. Failing to settle in the first time, Munim Khan successfully took control of Hajipur and Patna under direct initiative of emperor Akbar. Munim Khan was then appointed as the governor of Bengal and Bihar. He later captured the Afghan capital of Bengal, Tandah, on 25 September 1574.[1] On the battle of Tukaroi, held on 3 March 1575, Munim Khan forced Daud Shah to sign a treaty which left only Orissa under Daud Shah's control. Munim Khan transferred the capital from Bengal from Tandah to Gaur.

Death

Munim died on 23 October 1575 in Tandah by an epidemic plague.[1] After his death, Daud Khan Karrani retracted and captured Gaur again.

gollark: For example: apparently climate change is causing more/worse hurricanes or something. But if we heat the Earth by something like ~~10~~ 30 degrees, there will be hypercanes instead.
gollark: If the Earth is heated enough, the effects of this will counter the effects of it only being heated slightly.
