Husain[1] (Persian: حُسین, romanized: Ḥusaīn, lit. 'handsome'; Persian pronunciation: [hu.ˈsajn]), born Ḥusaīn Shāh Chak[2] (Persian: حُسین شاہ چَک, Kashmiri: حُسین شاہ ژَھک) was the second Chak Sultan. He succeeded his brother Ghazi Shah Chak after Ghazi abdicated the throne in Husain's favour in 1563.[2] Husain was the 20th Sultan of Kashmir[3] and ruled Kashmir until 1570.[4]
He served as a general under his father Hussain Khan and then under his elder brother Ghazi Shah. Husain gradually increased his power throughout the Valley and extended his realm in the hill states of Jammu, Kishtwar and Rajauri. He adopted policies that were politically, culturally and economically beneficial. Ruling through a centralised system, he made his cabinet of ministers follow strict rules. To establish peace in his Sultanate, he constituted peaceful relationships with foreign authorities. He held co-operative and contributive talks with his subjects. Husain is regarded as the foremost monarch of the Chak dynasty.
