Life
Jam Mubarak Khan (distinct from Jam Mubarak Khan also known as Dollah Darya Khan) served as a chamberlain and vizier to Jam Tughlaq of the Samma dynasty. He was also a relative of Jam Tughlaq and during Jam Tughlaq's reign he commanded a force of 2000 men.[1] He rebelled against Jam Sikandar II while the latter was away settling a dispute between the hakims of Sehwan and Bukkur sarkars.[2] When Jam Sikandar II had reached Naserpur, Mubarak seated himself on the throne under the title of sultan without the consent of the emirs, who refused to recognize his authority.[3] After three days Jam Sikandar II returned and ordered Mubarak's execution.[4][5]
