Burhan Nizam Shah I (Persian: برهان نظام شاه یکم) was ruler of the Ahmednagar Sultanate, in Central India.
A palace built for Burhan Shah, the second Nizam, stands in ruins two miles south-east of the city of Ahmednagar.
[4] Upon the declaration of Shi'ism as the state religion, Pir Muhammad Khan Sherwani raised about 3000 men in rebellion, and camped outside Ahmednagar.
The rebels sought to depose Burhan and install his Sunni son Abdul Qadir as sultan.
They had surrounded the house of Shah Tahir, but eventually the rebellion ended and Burhan ordered the execution of Pir Muhammad.
