Father Shir Ali Khan

Muhammad Mallya Beg Khan, also known as Malla-Khan, was the Khan of Kokand from 1858 to 1862; he was the son of Shir Ali Khan and the stepbrother of Khudayar Khan. [1] He was assassinated in 1862 and succeeded by his seventeen-year-old stepbrother Shah Murad Khan, who ruled for only several days until Muhammad Khudayar Khan came back to power. [2]

During his rule the land of the present-day city of Bishkek was annexed to the Khanate and expanded construction projects on the Chu River. His regent Alimqul controlled many affairs of the Khanate and was to some extent its de facto ruler. [3]

In 1859 the Russians occupied Fort Julek, which according to Russian governor-general of Orenburg, was to protect Fort Perovski; In 1861 they rebuilt the fortress and demolished the Yani Kurgan fortress. As Kokand gradually expanded their dominion North into the area occupied by Kazakhs subject and to Tokmak, and others that had already occupied, relations with Russia further deteriorated into an all out war. [1] [3]

Dissatisfaction with high taxes and Alimqul's hostility towards the population of Kokand led to Malla-Khan's overthrow and assassination, and replacement by Shah Murad Khan. [3]

In the 16th century, the Tsardom of Russia embarked on a campaign to expand the Russian frontier to the east. This effort continued until the 19th century under the Russian Empire, when the Imperial Russian Army succeeded in conquering all of Central Asia. The majority of this land became known as Russian Turkestan—the name "Turkestan" was used to refer to the area due to the fact that it was and is inhabited by Turkic peoples, excluding the Tajiks, who are an Iranian ethnicity. Upon witnessing Russia's absorption of the various Central Asian realms, the British Empire sought to reinforce India, triggering the Great Game, which ended when both sides eventually designated Afghanistan as a neutral buffer zone.
