Title
Why has the capitalization of the article name been edited? Its a proper name, therefore Khan should be capitalized.

Later life and death
It has been erroneously reported in this article that Mahabat Khan lies buried at Quila Qadam Shareef at New Delhi (Qutub Road, near Muslim cemetery of Khwaja Baaqi Billah.)

Mahabat Khan in his lifetime had ordered for and got built his own mausoleum adjacent to the west of the mausoleum of Shaikh Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar at Panipat also built by him. He had built on a renovational basis this mausoleum complex on the shrine of the 13th Century saint out of reverence, together with a grand enclosure comprising of a high gate, a mosque, a serai, and domes on the graves of the followers to the shrine (sajjada nasheens.)

A visit to Panipat at this shrine and reading of the Persian epigraphy on a red sandstone tablet under the dome of Mahabat Khans's mausoleum will establish my post here.Lutfullah (talk) 17:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Lutfullah
