'''Amir Nizam-ud-din Khalifa''' ({{lang-fa|{{Nastaliq| امیر نظامامو الدین خلیفه}}}}), also Known as '''Mir Khalifa''' was a [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] noble and statesman, who served as the [[Vakil of the Mughal Empire]] (''prime minister'') during the reign of [[Mughal Emperor|Emperor]] [[Babur]] and [[Humayun]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Experts|first=Disha|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5RZLDwAAQBAJ&pg=RA1-PA52&dq=minister+of+babur#q=minister%20of%20babur|title=101 Speed Test for Indian Railways (RRB) Assistant Loco Pilot Exam Stage I & II - 2nd Edition|publisher=Disha Publications|isbn=978-93-87421-48-6|language=en}}</ref>

==Biography==
Mir Khalifa was one of the closet companions of [[Babur]]. In 1526 Babur established [[Mughal Empire]] after defeating [[Ibrahim Lodhi]] in the [[First Battle of Panipat|Battle of Panipat]]. Emperor Babur created the ministry of ''Vakalat'' (Emperor's representative) and made Mir Khalifa the first [[Vakil of the Mughal Empire]].

Mir Khalifa along with his son Mir Mohib Ali commanded the battalions of [[Mughal army]] in both battles of Panipat and [[Battle of Khanwa|Khanwa]]. His son fought bravely in the battle of Khanwa and impressed the Emperor.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Erskine|first=William|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=x3lSAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA465&dq=Mir+Mohib+Ali+Khalifa#q=Mir%20Mohib%20Ali%20Khalifa|title=A History of India Under the Two First Sovereigns of the House of Taimur, Báber and Humáyun|date=1854|publisher=Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans|language=en}}</ref> Due to Mohib's bravery Babur made him [[vizier]] in the imperial court.

Mir Khalifa initially opposed [[Humayun]]'s succession to the [[Peacock Throne|Mughal Throne]] after death of Babur because he was dread and suspicion to the young prince Humayun. He was in favour of succession of Mahdi Khawaja who was son-in-law of late Emperor.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Mubārak|first=Abū al-Faz̤l ibn|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_Isx7NqZZHEC&pg=PA420&dq=Nahid+Begum#q=Nahid%20Begum|title=The Ain I Akbari|date=1873|publisher=Asiatic Society of Bengal|language=en}}</ref>

He thought that Mahdi Khawja was a generous and liberal man but after
knowing great ambitions of Khawaja and opposition from Mughal nobles, he changed his mind and raised prince Humayun to Mughal throne and remained as the Vakil of the empire.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Elliot|first=Sir Henry Miers|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XdY6AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA188&dq=mir+khalifa#q=mir%20khalifa|title=The History of India, as Told by Its Own Historians: The Muhammadan Period|date=1873|publisher=Trübner and Company|language=en}}</ref>
