Each sarkar of Sher Shah Suri was divided into several parganas. Shiqdar (military officer), Amil (land revenue), Fotedar (treasurer), and Karkuns (accountants) were the officers in charge of the administration of each pargana.
Alauddin Alam Shah who ruled the Sayyid dynasty from 1443 CE to 1451 CE was the last ruler of the Sayyid dynasty. It is believed that Alam Shah’s Wazir, Hamid Khan, invited Bahlol Lodhi to take charge of the army which later founded the Lodhi dynasty.
