Pur Dil Khan

Pur Dil Khan Barakzai was the second Prince of the Principality of Kandahar, who ruled from 1826 until his death in 1830.

Early life

Pur Dil was born into a Barakzai family, to his father Payandah Khan and to the latter's fifth wife, a Ghilji lady, alongside his full-brothers, also known as the 'Dil Brothers': Sher Dil Khan, Kohan Dil Khan, Rahm Dil Khan and Mehr Dil Khan.
He became the Prince of Kandahar after his brother, Sher Dil Khan's death, which also led to internal fighting that caused the city's walls to decay.
