Qasim Khan Juvayni

Qasim Khan Juvayni Nawab (reigned: 1628–1631) was a Mughal general and nobleman of the court of both of the Mughal emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan and held the rank of 5,000. He also served as the governor of Bengal succeeding Fidai Khan.

He was a native of Sabzwar (in present-day Afghanistan). He was a son of Mir Murad. Murad was appointed by Akbar to train up Prince Shahjahan in archery and later was made Bakhshi of Lahore. Qasim Khan first served Bengal as Khazanchi during the reign of Islam Khan Chishti. Qasim Khan was married to Manija Begum, the sister of the empress Nur Jahan. Consequently, he was sometimes in jest called by the officers of the court Qasim Khan Manija. His poetical name was Qasim. He is the author of a Diwan.

He became the government of Bengal in the first year of Shah Jahan's ruling in 1628. He slew about 10,000 Portuguese men and women and drove the rest from Hooghly of which place he took possession. He died three days afterwards in 1631. He had built a grand house at Agra (now ruined).
