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.

“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
