Husayn Khing Sawar

Sayyid Husain Khing Sawar[1] or Hussein Khangsawar,[2] also known as Miran Sahib,[3] was the garrison commander (qiladar) of Taragarh Fort in Ajmer.[citation needed] When Muhammad of Ghor conquered Ajmer, he appointed Husain as his chief tax collector. Husain was killed in 1202 during a Rajput attack on the fort.[2] A shrine was erected there in his honour, near Mu'in ad-Din Chishti's shrine.[1]
