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.

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:
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
