Pur Dil Khan Barakzai[a] (1785 – 22 June 1830) was the second Sardar of the Principality of Kandahar, who ruled from 1826 until his death in 1830.
Early life
[edit]Pur Dil was born into a Barakzai family, to his father Payandah Khan and to the latter's fifth wife, a Ghilji lady[1], alongside his full-brothers, also known as the 'Dil Brothers': Sher Dil Khan, Kohan Dil Khan, Rahm Dil Khan and Mehr Dil Khan.
He became the Prince of Kandahar after his brother, Sher Dil Khan's death,[2] which also led to internal fighting that caused the city's walls to decay.[3]
