After Sher Shah Suri conquered malwa from Qadir shah, he appointed Shujaat Khan as the governor. His son, Baz Bahadur, declared himself independent in 1555 CE. Baz Bahadur was the last sultan of Malwa.
Barani was a contemporary of Muhammad bin Tughlaq and Firuz Shah Tughlaq both. He wrote a number of renowned texts, such as the Fatwa-i-Jahandari, which elaborates on the principles to be followed by Muslim rulers to attain merit.
Each sarkar of Sher Shah Suri was divided into several parganas. Shiqdar (military officer), Amil (land revenue), Fotedar (treasurer), and Karkuns (accountants) were the officers in charge of the administration of each pargana.
Coins issued by most of the Rajput kings of medieval India were same in pattern i.e. included the name of the Ruler on one side and the picture of Goddess Laxmi on the other side. The text of the coins was written in Devnagiri script.
