Mir Abdul Aziz

Mir Abdul Aziz was a commander the Mughal Empire.

Battle of Khanwa

Mir Abdul Aziz pushed on seven or eight miles from Fatehpur Sikri. The Rajputs, hearing of this incautious forward movement, dispatched to meet him a body of 4000-5000 horsemen who without hesitation charged the instant they came up. His force did not exceed a 1000-1500 men^[1]. Many of his men were killed others taken prisoners and carried off the field on the very first onset. The moment the news of what was going on reached the camp, Mir Mohib Ali Khalifa. Emperor Babur's Grand Vizier's son, and his followers were pushed forward to their assistance and there being no room for delay, numbers of separate horsemen, as fast as they were equipped, were sent off at the best of their speed while a regular detachment under Mir Muhammed Ali Khan moved forward to support them Mir Mohib Ali Khalifa who arrived first found every thing in disorder. Mir Abdul Aziz's horse tail standard taken and many excellent officers slain. Not only was he unable to turn the tide of success but was himself unhorsed though finally brought off by a desperate charge of his followers^[2].
