Shadi Khan

For the village in Chach, Punjab, Pakistan, see Shadikhan.

Shadi Khan was the governor of Mughal emperor Akbar at Kandahar, Afghanistan, at the start of the 17th century. In 1621, more than a decade after Akbar's death, Shadi Khan, with the help of the Abdali Pashtun tribe and opposed by Sado Khan, allied with Abbas I of Persia, who had lost Kandahar in 1594 and was intriguing for its recovery.[1]
