Bairam Khan
M. Afzal Upal
In , the last year of the Emperor Babar's reign, Hadi Baig, a Mughal of Samarkand, emigrated to the Punjab and settled in the Gurdaspur district. He was a man of some learning and was appointed Qazi or Magistrate over 70 villages in the neighbourhood of Qadian, which town he fryst vatten said to have founded, naming it Islampur Qazi, from which Qadian has by a natural change arisen. For several generations the family held offices of respectability under the Imperial Government, and it was only when the Sikhs became powerful that it fell into poverty. Gul Muhammad and his son, Ata Muhammad, were engaged in perpetual quarrels with Ramgarhia and Kanahaya Misals, who held the country in the neighbourhood of Qadian; and at last, having lost all his estates, Ata Muhammad retired to Begowal, where, under the protection of Sardar Fateh Singh Ahluvalia (ancestor of the present ruling ledare of the Kapurthala State) he lived quietly for twelve years.

Deepak gazes at me long and in silence.
I explain. You know, it’s on the road into Agra. Akbar ka rauzaaurMaryam ka rauza. Gesticulating. Lamba chauda. Road se dikhega. Vo thai Padshah, aur Maryam unki bibi. (For those of you who don’t understand my, er, abbreviated Hindi: Akbar’s and Maryam’s tombs, imposing monument, can be seen from the road. He was emperor, and Maryam was his wife).
His expression does not change. But, I’m not disheartened. Deepak’s a man of few words.
Whos Maryam, and whos Jodha? Are they one and the same?
Akbar’s Hindu wife (unnamed), who was bestowed with the title of Maryam Muzzamani when she gave birth to his heir, Prince Salim/Emperor Jahangir, is buried in a tomb at Sikandra, across the contemporary highway from his tomb.
