"Sikandar died in A.D. 1413 and was succeeded by his son Mir Khan who assumed the name ‘Ali Shah. The king, at the beginning of his reign, left the management of affairs in the hands of Suhabhatta who remained the Chief Minister till his death and con- tinued his policy of persecuting the Hindus. According to Nizam- ud-din, he perpetrated various kinds of oppressions and tyranny on the people, with the result that most of the Hindus left the- country and some killed themselves.°S Firishta writes: “That statesman (Sthabhatta), with all the zeal of a convert, persecuted the few Brahmins who still remained firm to their religion; and by putting all to death who refused to embrace Mohamedanism, he drove those who still lingered in Kashmir entirely out of that kingdom”’."
