Jam Unar

Jam Unar

Jám Unar bin BábínahIt was in 752 A.H. (1351 A.D.) that Jám Unar son of Bábínah was proclaimed the ruler of Sind. In a very short time Jám Unar was sufficiently strong to attack Sehwán. Malak Ratan, a Turk, was at that time the governor of the place, on behalf of the king of Dehlí. He came out to meet Jám Unar and defeated him in a battle; but the next day Jám Unar returned to fight with redoubled force. He defeated Malak Ratan, who accidentally falling from his horse fell into the hands of his enemy, who cut off his head with a blow. The fort of Sehwán was then soon taken. On returning to his capital Jám Unar began to lead a luxurious life. One day while he was drunk, information was received of some rising at a short distance. The Jám deputed his agent Káhah son of Tamáchí to put down the rebellion. As Káhah himself was in an intoxicated state, he was soon taken prisoner by the mob. Jám Unar was so busy in his profligacies that he had no time to think of his agent’s release. Naturally Káhah was much annoyed at his master’s want of sympathy. He managed to effect an escape, and leaving the side of Jám Unar for good, came to Bakhar and joined Alí Sháh and Malak Feróz Tartars, and bring­ing them to Bahrámpur got Jám Unar killed. Some say that Alí Sháh and Malak Feróz had already started from Bakhar to be avenged on Jám Unar for his taking the fort of Sehwán and killing Malak Ratan. After 3 days, however, the Sammahs killed Káhah and Malak Feróz, Alí Sháh having already gone back to Bakhar. Jám Unar reigned for 3 years and 6 months. He was succeeded by his brother Júnah.
