The Chak or Chaq dynasty (Kashmiri: چاک خاندان) was a Kashmiri dynasty [1][2] that ruled over the Kashmir sultanate in medieval Kashmir after the Shah Mir dynasty.[3][4] The dynasty rose to power in 1561 in Srinagar[5] after the death of the Turco-Mongol military general, Mirza Haidar Dughlat[6][7] when Ghazi Shah assumed the throne by dethroning Habib Shah, the last Shah Mir Sultan.[8] The dynasty ended in 1589 when Yakub Shah surrendered to Mughal Emperor Akbar.[9][10]
