Khan gauda

Qadar Khan, born Pindar Khilji and also called Bedar Khilji, was a Khalji noble who served Nasiruddin Ibrahim Shah, the tributary ruler of Lakhnauti installed by Delhi after the conquest of Bengal in 1324. Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq later appointed him governor of Lakhnauti at Gaur.

When Bahram Khan of Sonargaon died in 1337 and his armour-bearer Fakhruddin Mubarak Shah declared independence, Qadar Khan defeated him and occupied Sonargaon. His soldiers then quarrelled over the plunder, and Fakhruddin lured them into an ambush in which Qadar Khan was captured and executed. The war minister he left at Lakhnauti, Alauddin Ali Shah, killed the deputy governor and made himself ruler of the city in 1339.
