UMRA KHAN

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 578 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
UMRA KHAN , of Jandol (c. 186o1903), a Pathan
chief
  on the north-western frontier of India, who was chiefly responsible for the
Chitral
  Campaign of 1895. He was the younger son of the
khan
  of Jandol; but he killed his
elder
  brother, seized the
throne
 , and made himself a
power
  on the frontier. In 1894 he held undisputed sway over almost the whole of Bajour, when his restless ambition caused him to interfere in the internal affairs of
Chitral
 . He instigated Amir-ul-Mulk, a half-witted brother of the Chitral
chief
 , to murder his brother
Nizam
 -ul-Mulk, and then threw over the fratricide and supported the claims of his uncle Sher Afzul to the
throne
 . The government of India intervened and ordered Umra
Khan
  to leave Chitral. When he refused, the Chitral Expedition was despatched (see CHITRAL); Umra Khan was driven into
exile
  in Afghanistan, and died there in 1903.
