Aman ul-Mulk (Khowar: امان الملک; 1 January 1821 – 30 August 1892) was the Mehtar of Chitral, Ghizer, Yasen and Ishkoman and Suzerain of Kafiristan.[citation needed] He ruled the State of Chitral from 1857 to 1892.[1][2][3][4] His rule saw Chitral reach its territorial peak, extending from Ishkamun in Gilgit Agency to Asmar in Afghanistan.[5] His death led to the Siege of Chitral, an instance of high drama[6] which goes down in the annals of British India as an epic of enormous courage and determination.[7]
