Dilawar Khan (Amid Shah Daud)

Dilawar Khan, who reigned as Amid Shah Daud Dilawar Shah, was an Afghan governor who founded the Malwa Sultanate. The Tughlaq court appointed him governor of Malwa at Dhar in 1392.

Following Timur's sack of Delhi in 1398, the fugitive Sultan Muhammad Shah sought shelter with him, and Dilawar offered him his kingdom and treasure. As Tughlaq authority collapsed, he had the Friday sermon read in his own name in 1401 and ruled Dhar as an independent sultan.

He warred unsuccessfully against Malik Sarwar of Jaunpur. He died in 1406 and was succeeded by his son Hoshang Shah.
