==Life==
He was the younger son of the [[Khan (title)|Khan]] of [[Jandol State|Jandul]]; but he killed his elder brother, seized the throne, and made himself a power on the frontier.<ref name="EB1911"/>

In 1894 he held undisputed sway over almost the whole of [[Bajour]], when his restless ambition caused him to interfere in the internal affairs of [[Chitral (princely state)|Chitral]]. He instigated Afzal ul-Mulk, a son of Chitral's Mehtar [[Aman ul-Mulk]], to murder his brother Nizam ul-Mulk, and then overthrew the [[fratricide]] and supported the claims of his uncle Sher Afzul to the throne. The [[British Raj|Government]] of [[British India]] intervened and ordered Umra Khan to leave [[Chitral]]. When he refused, the [[Chitral Expedition]] was despatched; Umra Khan was driven into exile in [[Afghanistan]], and died there in 1904.<ref name="EB1911" /><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=psTeAAAAMAAJ|title=History of Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, 1820-1956: The State Force Background|last=Singh|first=K.

He is declared as the Nepolian of Pathans by Winston Churchill in his book titled the Malakand Field Force. The book was written by Mr. Churchill when he visited the area as a war correspondent with British Forces.

It is also known that Umara Khan participated in the Ambela battle when he was only a few years old. The grand father of Umara Khan participated along with three thousand mujahideen including Umara Khan in the battle.

Umara Khan became leader of the Dir state in 1881 in a very young age. He raised war against the British in 1896 and captured 120 British soldiers including officers named Edward. The captives later confirmed that they were well treated and were provided food of their choice.
