'''Daud Khan Panni''' (? – 6 September 1715) or simply as '''Daud Khan''' was a [[Mughal Army|Mughal]] commander, [[Nawab of the Carnatic]] and later [[Nawab of Kurnool]]. He was an ethnic [[Pashtun]] from the [[Balailzai (Panni)|Panni]] tribe and was from [[Bijapur]], [[Karnataka]].

In 1703, Daud Khan was appointed as the [[Nawab of the Carnatic]]. Before he was made Nawab, the Emperor [[Aurangazeb]] appointed him as a leading commander of the [[Mughal Army]] in 1701, while [[Zulfikhar Ali Khan]] was the Nawab.

Daud Khan made his bases at [[Arcot]] and often received assistance from [[Asaf Jah I]] the [[Faujdar]] of the [[Carnatic region|Carnatic]] and [[Talikota]]. During his tenure, he made frequent visits to [[Santhome]] and tried to develop it. But due to the efforts of [[Thomas Pitt]], the then Governor of the [[British East India Company]], Daud Khan had to defer his plans.

Like Zulfikhar Ali Khan, Daud Khan also enjoyed the confidence of the Emperor Aurangazeb and had control over all the territories south of the [[River Krishna]]. In one of his visits to [[Fort St. George]] (now [[Chennai]]), the streets were lined with soldiers. The line of soldiers was from the St. Thome Gate up to the Fort and the center of the inner Fort was occupied by [[Trained bands|train bands]]. The Governor, Thomas Pitt, conducted him into the Fort, carried him up to his lodgings. Such was the respect he commanded with the East India Company.

In 1702, it is probably believed{{vague|date=December 2020}} that the [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]] ordered Daud Khan the [[Mughal Empire]]'s local [[Subedar]] (lieutenant), to besiege and blockade Fort St. George for more than three months,<ref name="googlebooks" /> the governor of the fort [[Thomas Pitt]] was instructed by the [[British East India Company]] to vie for peace.{{Additional citation needed|date=December 2020}}

[[Thomas Pitt]] began garrisoning [[British East India Company]] forts by raising regiments of local [[Sepoy]]'s by hiring from [[Hindu]] warrior [[caste]]s, he armed them with the latest weapons and positioned them under the command of British officers to save [[Madras]], his base of operations from further [[Mughal (tribe)|Mughal]] harassment.<ref>{{YouTube|I-O5cqkphDI}}</ref>

On 5 October 1708, Daud Khan issued a ''[[Firman]]'' granting the [[English East India Company]] and the five villages of [[Tiruvottiyur]], [[Nungambakkam]], Vysarpady, Kathiwakam and Sattangadu west of [[Tiruvottiyur]].

In 1710, Daud Khan was recalled to [[Delhi]] to discharge more responsible work as Commander-in-Chief of the Mughal Army. He was appointed to [[Viceroy of Deccan]].

On 6 September 1715, Husain Ali Khan awaited the encounter with Daud Khan. Daud Khan, unfortunately, was killed by a stray bullet in this battle and died. He was winning the battle until he died. His death led to his army being defeated in the battle near [[Burhanpur]].

==War elephants==
In 1703, the Mughal commander at [[Coromandel Coast|Coromandel]], Daud Khan Panni spent 10,500 coins to purchase 30 to 50 [[war elephant]]s from [[Ceylon]].<ref>{{Google books |id=3C1vz5ioOMwC |page=122 |title=Mughal Warfare: Indian Frontiers and Highroads to Empire, 1500–1700 }}</ref> These purchases were acknowledged by [[Vimaladharmasurya II of Kandy]].
