Timur Shah Durrani

Timur Shah led several military campaigns against the Sikh Confederacy in the Punjab region. While he achieved some tactical victories, he failed to permanently subdue the Sikhs, who continued to expand their territory. These campaigns drained the empire's resources.

Timur Shah faced multiple revolts from Pashtun tribes, particularly the Ghilzai and Abdali, who opposed his rule. He used military force to suppress these uprisings, executing rebel leaders and imposing heavy taxes, but the revolts weakened the empire's cohesion.

Timur Shah Durrani moved the capital of the Durrani Empire from Kandahar to Kabul. This shift was intended to better control the eastern provinces and counter threats from the Mughal Empire and Sikhs. It also reduced the influence of Pashtun tribal leaders in Kandahar.
