Malik Maqbul Tilangani

Malik Maqbul, also titled Khan-i-Jahan, was a Telugu commander of the Kakatiya Empire named Gannama Nayaka, guarding Warangal Fort until Muhammad bin Tughluq conquered it in 1323. Captured and converted to Islam, he entered Delhi service. After Warangal fell to rebels, he governed Cambay.

He rose to become wazir under Firuz Shah Tughlaq, who called him brother and left all fiscal administration in his hands. While the sultan campaigned in Sindh, Maqbul held Delhi. He died in 1369, and his son Jauna Khan succeeded him.
