==Background==
Qasim Khan originated from [[Sabzevar]] (in present-day [[Afghanistan]]) which was historically part of greater [[Joveyn County|Joveyn]]. His father was Mir Murad Juwaini, a renowned [[Syed]] of the town. Murad spent much of his life in the [[Deccan]] (giving rise to the name Mir Murad Dakhini) before being appointed by [[Akbar]] as 5-year old [[Shah Jahan]]'s archery trainer. In 1602, Murad passed away while serving office as ''Bakshi'' (paymaster) and military administrator of [[Lahore]].<ref name=jahan/><ref name=bpedia>{{cite book|title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh|first=KM|last=Karim|chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Qasim_Khan_Jwini|chapter=Qasim Khan Jwini|publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref>

==Life==
Qasim Khan first served in [[Bengal]] as ''Khazanchi'' (treasurer) during the reign of [[Islam Khan Chishti]]. Chishti was known to have treated Qasim and his brother, Hashim, very well.<ref>{{cite book|title=[[Ma'asir al-umara]]|author=Samsam ud Daula Shah Nawaz Khan|author-link=Samsam ud Daula Shah Nawaz Khan|pages=78–82|chapter=Qasim Khan I|volume=3}}</ref>

Qasim married Princess Manija Begum, the sister of Empress [[Nur Jahan]].<ref name=bpedia/> This marriage led to Qasim being given the title of [[Amir]] and receiving of a drum and flag. Consequently, he was sometimes in jest called by the officers of the court ''Qasim Khan Manija''.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Riverside Mansions and Tombs of Agra: New Evidence from a Panoramic Scroll Recently Acquired by The British Library |url=https://www.bl.uk/eblj/2017articles/pdf/ebljarticle92017.pdf |last1=Koch |first1=Ebba |last2=Losty |first2=JP |website=The British Library}}</ref> Qasim Khan was an established poet, known to have written a [[Diwan (poetry)|diwan]].

Qasim had a good relationship with [[Jahangir]]. The Emperor once requested Qasim to give him a glass of freshwater. As the earthen cup was so very fragile, it could not stand the weight of the water and broke. The Emperor looked towards Qasim Khan and said a verse: The cup was delicate, the water could not repose. Qasim Khan immediately spoke out the second half of the verse: He (or she) saw my condition, and could not restrain his (or her) tears. Jahangir later appointed him the Subahdar of [[Agra Subah|Agra]]. Qasim built a grand house for himself in [[Agra|Agra city]], which is now in ruins.<ref name=jahan>{{cite book|pages=30, 292|last=Nicoll|first=Fergus|title=Shah Jahan|chapter=Notes on pages 160-163|year=2009|publisher=[[Penguin Books India]]}}</ref>

===Governor of Bengal===
He became the Subahdar of Bengal in the first year of [[Shah Jahan]]'s reign in 1628, replacing [[Fidai Khan]]. He was promoted to the rank of [[mansabdar]] with 5,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, the Portuguese (Firingi) settlers had a provocative hold of the port-town of [[Hugli-Chuchura|Hugli]], taking part in immoral activities, slavery and [[forced conversion|forced conversions of Bengalis into Christianity]]. Shah Jahan wished in restricting the acts of the Portuguese in Bengal. In February 1632, Qasim Khan sent an army led by his son, Inayatullah Khan. The Mughals finally took possession of [[Hooghly (town)|Hugli]] in September for three months. They slew about 10,000 [[Firingi]] men and women and drove the rest out from the town. This brought about the end of the Portuguese slave trade and forced conversions in Bengal. He died three days afterwards in 1632.<ref>{{cite book|page=40|title=
