ESSA KHAN TO ISA KHEL

From history ref Essa khan was born in 1453 and his brother would have born be born in b/w 25 years, his last brother was born in 1478. Essa khan died in 1548 at the age of 95 in delhi. The period of 1451 – 1525 was the golden period of khan’s Niazi because in that period Lodhi’s were completely dominated on subcontinent (hindustan). Sikandar lohdhi and ebraheem Lodhi families, sher shah souri and Niazi families are of one unit. The large part of the sir umer khan family was attached with Essa khan Shahi darbar but umer khan permanently settled in Dehli and all of his five brothers lived with him and deputed Delhi dUrbar and current govt. Affairs. In the honor of great war of Haybat khan sher shah suri awarded him a title Azam – e – Hyumayoo and also made him governor of multan and send him to Multan in area Pergani kuchi (present Mianwali) there were great confusion build up between Haybat khan Niazi (father genealogy of habit is given Bhumbra’s genealogy) and sher shah soori and this confusion ended with mutiny

Issa khan’s tomb is situated just outside the Humayun’s tomb precincts in new Delhi. It was built in the honor of Essa khan, a brave and valiant noble under sher shah, the Afghan ruler who had overthrown Humayun it was built in 1547, in an octagonal pattern. It is an architectural gem in the Islamic art in India and remained a model tomb amongst the ruling families in its time. Said to be inspired by the tomb of Siyanda Lodhi

The town was founded about 1830 by Ahmad khan, ancestor of the present khans of Isa khel, who are the acknowledged heads of the trans-Indus Niazi; and it takes its name from shah Isa khel, a religious teacher, whose descendants still live in the town. The Isa khel is also famous for the feudal Niazi chiefs who were designated nawabs during the British colonial era some of them got the title of khan bahader “during that period. Isa khel remains the first Niazi stronghold in the district after they left the Marat plains.Isa khel, inhabitants were hindus and that before the christian era the town formed an integral portion of the graeco-bactrian empire of Kabul and the Punjab. The Isa khel has been settled of Pathans from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa . Mahmoud of Ghazni is said to have ravaged the upper half of the district together with bannu, expelling its hindu inhabitants and reducing the country to a desert the series of afghan immigrations into Bannu took place and the bannuchis, the marwat and the Niazis settled in the fertile portion of the country on either bank of the kurram. Towards the close of the fifteenth century they spread north into the plain now known as marwat and squatted there as graziers, and perhaps too as cultivators (on the banks of the kurram and gambila) there they lived in peace for about fifty years, till the time Marwat Lohdis, a younger branch of the lodhi group, swarmed into the country the defeated them in battle, and drove them across the kurram at Darra Tang , in the valley beyond which they found a final home the most important sections of the expelled Niazis were the Isa khel. Mushanis and a portion of the sarhangs the first named took root in the south of their new country and shortly developed into agriculturists the emperor akbar presented Isa khel in jagir to two of their chiefs. During the civil commotions of the jahangir’s regime, the Niazis are said to have driven the ghakkars across the salt range, and though in the following reign, the latter recovered their position, still their hold on the country was precarious, and came to an end about the middle of the 18th century as stated above in 1748.A durrani army under one of ahmad shah’s generals crossed the indus at kalabagh,and drove out the ghakkars, who are still ruling in the cis – indus tracts of the district, owing nominal allegiance to the emperor at delhi. Their stronghold, on muazzam nagar, was raised to the ground and with their expulsion was swept away the last vestige of authority of the mughal emperor in these parts. No sooner had the insatiable ranjit singh gained the indus for a frontier than he determined to advance it to the suleiman range itself in 1823 he crossed the indus at the head of a large force, marched through Isa khel and Marwat without opposition, and pushed on to the outskirts of bannu. But after staying a month or two, he retired without attempting to plant a garrison in the trans-indus country. On 29th march 1849 the punjab was annexed, and the territories, now comprised in the mianwali district, became formally a portion of british india. Isa khel municipality was created in 1875 on the separation the n.w.f.p. from the punjab a further reconstitution took place, and on 9th november 1901 the mianwali district formed out of the four tehsils of Isa khel, mianwali, bhakkar and leiah, the two former being taken from bannu, and the two latter from dera ismail khan district. The Isa khel tehsil was initially part of bannu and Isa khel became tehsil lying on the west bank of the indus, this tehsil is cut off from the rest of the district, and would seem to belong more properly to the n.w.f.p. but is separated even more completely from bannu by the semicircular fringe of the chichali and maidani hills, which leave it open only on the river side. These hills drain into Isa khel and make it fertile .
