Nizam Bhishti ruled Mughal empire for a day.
He saved the life of Mughal Emperor Humayun during Battle of Chausa 1539.
It was a bhisti who changed the history of India by saving the life of Humayun, the second Mughal emperor, as the Mughal king was about to drown in the Ganga during a campaign against the Afghans.
He inflated his goatskin satchel, the mashaq, and used it as a float for Humayun to cross the river.
In gratitude, Humayun granted him the throne of Agra for a day.
A bhisti thus ruled an empire once, if only for a day.
