Malik Dilasa Khan (Pashto, Urdu: دلاسه خان) was a Military chief and Warrior from Bannu.[1][unreliable source?][2][not in citation given] Khan was known as the famous warlord against the Sikh Empire (Khalsa Army) and Britishers.[3][unreliable source?][4][unreliable source?]

Initial Life[edit]

In 1777 A.D., Malik Dilasa Khan was born in Khattak Khan's home. His great-grandfather was Ghazi Khan, and his grandpa was Alam Khan. Malik Dilasa Khan's ancestor, Malik Daud Shah, descended from Suranaey son of Shitak in the third generation. Dilasa Khan was a resident of Daud Shah village.[5][unreliable source?][not in citation given]

Military Career[edit]

Ranjit Singh started working on his proposal to integrate Bannu into the Sikh dominion in 1822. Ranjit Singh occasionally attacked the Banuchi walled villages. The Sikhs marched through Isa Khel and Marwat unopposed in 1823 before pushing on to the outskirts of Bannu.[6][unreliable source?] The Sikh army invaded Bannu nine times between 1823 and 1845. A sizable Sikh army that the commander of the Khalsa force used to accompany would never enter the valleys unafraid. Although it frequently succeeded in extracting a sizable profit from them, it never left without first suffering a significant defeat at the hands of some tenacious insurgents.[7][unreliable source?]no ono was more hostile to the Sikhs than Dilasa Khan of Bannu.[8][unreliable source?][9][unreliable source?]

Shah Shuja Saddozai, the grandson of Ahmad Shah Abdali, made a tripartite pact with Ranjit Singh and the British government in June 1838. Shah Shuja granted the Sikhs control over the Trans-Indus region (including Bannu) under article I of this pact.[10] Ranjit Singh wasted no time in making an effort to colonize this new area. The Bannuchis were asked for one lakh rupees in tribute by Ranjit Singh. He had encountered little resistance elsewhere in the area, but in the Bannu valley he was forced, after numerous attempts, to retreat and use the strategy of his forefathers, contenting himself with the regular dispatch of a force to wreak havoc on the nation and take whatever booty could be obtained.[11][unreliable source?][12][unreliable source?]

Dilasa Khan also defeated Sikh empire in the Battle of Bannu.[13][unreliable source?][14][unreliable source?][not in citation given][15][unreliable source?]
