The son of Nawab Muhammad Akram Khan, whom he succeeded in 1907, the Nawab helped the British in carrying out several of the later Black Mountain expeditions to Kala Dhaka/Tor Ghar. In 1919 he sent a force which fought against the Wali of Swat at the Battle of Chamla.[2]
According to some accounts, he provided food, artillery, goods and reliance support to Khalil Pasha's forces. However, as the ruler of an Indian princely state under British Raj, he was unable to take part or form an alliance with British or the Ottoman, keeping his forces uninvolved during the Fall of Bagdad (1917). Nawab had a good relationship with Ottoman Sultan and the extreme support to Ottoman Empire at a very difficult quite time was very reliable. As well as being a knight commander of the Order of the Indian Empire, the Nawab held the rank of Honorary Major in the Indian Army.[3]
From his time as used in perpetuity by him and his descendants.[4]
