Khwaja Nizam-ud-Din Ahmad Bakshi was a Muslim historian of late medieval India. He was the son of Muhammad Muqim-i-Harawi. Nizamuddin Ahmad wrote the book Tabaqat-i-Akbari which is a general history of the Muslim rule in India coming down to the year of its composition.
After the death of Achyuta Deva Raya, the succession was disputed. His son, Venkata I also called as Venkata Raya or Venkatadri Raya, succeeded him, but he was a weak ruler and was killed six months later.
