In February 1595, Mir Masum was dispatched to subjugate Baluchistan, the last region in northern India that had not yet come under the rule of Emperor Akbar. Leading a successful campaign, Mir Masum attacked the fortress of Sibi, located northeast of Quetta, and defeated the Panni Afghans. Following their defeat, the Afghans surrendered all of Baluchistan, including the coastal area of Makran, to the Mughal Empire.[1][2]
Battle
[edit]In March 1586, several Baluchi chiefs were persuaded to acknowledge Mughal Emperor Akbar as their ruler and submit to his authority.[1] To strengthen the Mughal Empire's presence in the northwest, Akbar dispatched Mir Masum to annex Baluchistan, which was under the control of the Panni Afghan tribes. Mir Masum launched an attack on their stronghold at Sibi, near Quetta, and emerged victorious in battle.[3][4] Simultaneously, he employed diplomatic efforts to convince the tribes to integrate into the Mughal Empire, highlighting the benefits of its protection. Consequently, Baluchistan, including the coastal region of Mekran and territories extending to the borders of Kandahar, was incorporated into the Mughal Empire.[3][5]
