Sulaiman Khan Karrani (
Sulaiman, his brother Taj and Sulaiman's sons Bayazid and Daud Khan Karrani ran a short-lived Afghan vassal state of Mughal emperor Akbar in Bengal. They dominated the area while Sulaiman paid homage to the Akbar. The Afghans defeated by Akbar began to flock under his flag. The Afghans were not technically the rulers of Bengal, the post was primarily nominal.
Relation with Akbar
Sulaiman Khan Karrani did not establish his own coinage during his reign, an act that would have been tantamount to declaring statehood to the ruling Mughals.[1] He also honored Akbar as the supreme ruler of Bengal by requiring that mosques read Akbar's name in the Khutbah, the sermon at the Friday congregational prayers in Bengal.[1] Historians cite these acts as keeping the diplomatic peace between Bengal and Mughal Empire during Akbar's lifetime.[1]

When Taj Khan died in 1565 ... his brother Sulayman succeeded him. During Sultan Sulayman's reign from 1565 to 1572 ... He diplomatically kept the Mughal emperor Akbar placated by reading his [Akbar's] name from the pulpit on Fridays (khutba), and never striking his own coins ... When Daud, Sulayman's son took over he started striking his own coins and had his own name read in the khutba, acts tantamount to official declaration of independence.
