Afghan Power in Bihar – History of Bihar
Timur's invasion of India took place in 1398-99 AD, as a result of which the Tughlaq Empire also started disintegrating. At this time the region of Bihar came under the influence of the organized state of its adjacent Jaunpur. The Jaunpur kingdom extended up to Darbhanga in the north and Buxar in the south. The rest of the parts were influenced by the rulers of Bengal.
The Lava struggle took place between the Sharqi of Jaunpur and the Hussain Shahi rulers of Bengal for the rights over the areas of Bihar. This battle was fought between the rulers of Delhi and Bengal after the victory of Delhi on Jaunpur. According to the inscription of Lodi located in Bihar Sharif, Sikandar Lodi defeated Hussain Shah Sharqi of Bengal in 1495-96 AD and appointed Darya Khan Nuhani as governor in Bihar.
In 1504 AD, Sikandar Lodi defeated the Nawab of Bengal Alauddin at a place called Barh and made a treaty with him and fixed the boundary line between Bihar and Bengal at Munger. The governor of Bihar, Darya Khan Nuhani, wanted to establish an independent state. His relations with Ibrahim Lodi were not good. But Darya Khan Nuhani died in 1523 AD.
On the other hand, Ibrahim Lodi was defeated by Babur in 1526 AD and the Mughals took over the throne of Delhi. Meanwhile, taking the opportunity, Bahar Khan, son of Darya Nuhani in Bihar, declared his independence in the name of Sultan Mohammed Shaal Nuhani.
Bahar Khan was supported by the chieftains of the Nuhani and Fermuli tribes. Later, on the orders of Babur to suppress these Afghans, Humayun expelled the Afghans from Jaunpur and took control over it.
North and South Bihar were at this time under the control of two different Afghan rulers. Sultan Nusrat Shah, the ruler of Bengal till Ballia and Saran in north Bihar, was under control, while in south Bihar till Munger was controlled by Muhammad Saheb Nuhani. Both the rulers were opposing the Mughals together. During this time Muhammad Lodi took refuge in Bihar and started preparations against the Mughals. But Babur defeated these Afghans badly in the battle of Ghaghra on May 6, 1529.
Babur appointed Jalal Khan, son of Mohammad Shah Nuhani, as the administrator of Bihar. After the death of Babur, at the time of Humayun's initial difficulties, these people of eastern India again started the struggle against the Mughals.
