Letters of Yar Muhammad Khan Qalandar.
The author was present on the occasion of the insurrec-tion
of the Mullas, a few days before the death of Bahadur Shah
(Hadiqat-ul-Aqalim, 129/15), and was an eye-witness of the
struggle between the sons of Bahadur Shah (ibid 130/24) and,
later, of the exploits of Banda and his Sikh companions in the
province of Sirhind. Yar Muhammad has recorded that, after the
conquest of Sirhind, some Muhammadans of Sirhind and its
neighbourhood had embraced Sikhism. Mir Nasir-ud-Din, the royal
news-writer of Sirhind, had been converted into Nasir Singh and
Dindar Khan (of whom Muhammad Qasim has written as Dindar
Khan the apostate son of Jalal Khan Rohila) into Djndar Singh.
