Malik Teksh, whose real name was Shehab al-Dawla Teksh, was the son of Sultan Alp Arsalan and the brother of Sultan Malik Shah.The details of Malik Teksh’s birth, death and marriage are not fully available in the attributes of history.
And all the information we get about Malik Takish through history is about the war for power between him and Sultan Malik Shah.Historical sources say that Sultan Malik Shah, after ascending the throne, first stopped the revolt of his uncle Kagar and then he faced the revolt of Malik Teksh twice. The first time in 1081 and the second time in 1085.
After taking power of the Sanjuki Empire, Sultan Malik Shah passed through the area of ??Harat while visiting his empire in 1074 AD. Malik Teksh was in Balkh at that time.
Upon hearing the news of Sultan Malik Shah’s arrival, he immediately went to the Sultan’s court and expressed his obedience.Sultan Malik Shah bestowed the crown on Malik Teksh and made him the governor of Balkh.
Then in 1081, Sultan Malik Shah made a mistake that gave Malik Takish a chance to revolt.And that mistake was that Sultan Malik Shah ordered the withdrawal of 7,000 Sanjuk soldiers from his army who were Armenians.
The aim of the Sultan was to reduce the expenses of the army, although at that time Nizam-ul-Mulk explained to the king that if these soldiers were expelled and they took a wrong path, the amount we are spending on their salaries now More than that will be spent on ending their rebellion
But Sultan Malik Shah Namane and expelled these soldiers, these soldiers went to Malik Takish who welcomed them.And because of them he increased his military strength and then waited for a suitable opportunity to revolt.
And then what the eunuch Nizam-ul-Mulk warned about happened.Malik Takish Sanjuki dreamed of becoming a sultan and to fulfill this he captured the cities of Marwarut, Burma Shah Jundan and Thermos.
And then they started moving towards Neshapur. Now when Sultan Malik Shah got the news of Malik Teksh’s revolt, he regretted the decision to expel the soldiers.But at the same time, they took practical steps and reached Neshapur before Malik Takesh and captured it.
Upon hearing this news, Malik Teksh stayed in Thermos and Malik Shah laid siege to it in 1082.Now, disappointed on all sides, Malik Teksh released the prisoners of Sultan Malik Shah and apologized to the Sultan.
