EspañolISMAIL ADIL SHAH
(Redirected from Shah Ismail)
'Isamail Adil Shah' (1510 - 1534) was the king of Bijapur who spent most of his time extending his territory. His short lived reign helped the dynasty establish a strong hold in the deccan.
Isamail Adil Shah succeeded his father Yusuf Adil Shah as the king of Bijapur as a minor. The affairs of the state were managed by the minister Kamal Khan. During this phase Kamal Khan imprisoned the young king and tried a coup. Punji Khatun the mother of Ismail hatched a counter plot and the KamalKhan was stabbed to death in the royal palace.
After the death of Kamal Khan, his son Ismail laid siege to the place in order to arrest Punji Khatun and Ismail Adil Shah. However Ismail Khan was killed in the fight on the gates to the palace. Ismail started to manage the affairs of the state with th help of his mother. Ismail was follower of Shiah faith and declared it to be the faith of the state.
He invaded Kasim-Barid of Bidar. Later Kasmim Barid with the mohemadean kings of Ahmednagar, Golconda and Berar invaded Bijapur, however Ismail Adil Shah was able to defend himself and his territory. In this battle Mahumdshah of Bidar and his son Ahmed were taken as prisoners.
Bibi Sali, the sister of Ismail Adil Shah was married to AhmedShah of Ahmednagar and thus the hostilities were converted to friendship.
Ismail ruled peacefully only before waging a war against Nizamshah of Ahmednagar, who did not aid Ashad Khan during his conquest against Timraj of Vijayanagar. Nizamshah was unhappy because he was promised the fort of Sholapur as dowry when he married Ismail's sister Mariam, which was never handed over. Nizamshah later tried to take Solapur by force. However he had to taste failure when Ismail marched and captured forty elephants.
For some reason Ismail invaded Bidar, while Kutubshah was coming to help Amir Birad, Ismail sent his trusted General Asad Kahan to obstruct Kutubshah, which he did successfully and later captured Amir Birad when he was drunk. As a treaty Amir Birad agreed to give Umnabad and Bidar. He entered the fort of Bidar with pomp and seated himself on the throne, the same throne under which his father had served. After a while Amir Birad regained the favour of Ismail Adil Shah and got back the fort.
Ismail Adil Shah seldom faced defeat and his army with the artillery was a force to reckon with.
During his campaign against Golconda he fell ill and died in 1534 A.D. He was buried at the Gogi village. A mahal and a mosque are ascribed to him. After his death his son Mallu, the eldest was crowned however he was deposed with the efforts of his grandmother and the General Asad Khan. His younger brother Ibrahim Adil Shah as declared as the king.
