  • Shāh Jahān III

  • In his interesting note on the Rāīsīna grant Pt. B. N. Reu describes the puppet ruler who was set up by Ghāzī-ud-dīn after the murder of 'Ālamgīr II as Muhī-us-sunnat, with the title of Shāh Jahān II. He has evidently followed the Sairul-mutaākhīrīn (III, p. 375, Cambray's edition). But Mr. S. H. Hodivala has shown (p. 310, “Historical studies in Mughal numismatics”) that there is better authority for describing him as the son of Muhī-us-sunnat, and that his name was Muhī-ul-millat or Muhī-ud-dīn. In any case he was the third Shāh Jahān, as this regal title had also been assumed by Rafi'-ud-daula in a.h. 1131 (a.d. 1719).

  • In an article in the Morgenbladet (Oslo), of the 18th April, 1931, it is announced that the Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture have decided to publish a work on the Burushaski Language of Hunza Nagar by Lieut.-Col. D. L. R. Lorimer, an old and valued contributor to this Journal. The linguistic relationships of the Burushaski language present a baffling problem for the elucidation of which Colonel Lorimer's work is expected to provide peculiarly reliable material.
