Jamsheed Quli Qutb Shah

Jamsheed Quli Qutb Shah (also transliterated in different ways) (? - 1550) was the second ruler of the kingdom of Golconda in southern India under the Qutb Shahi dynasty. He ruled from 1543 to 1550.

His father, Sultan Quli Qutbl Mulk, had established the dynasty and had become the first Muslim to rule a Telugu people. Jamsheed killed his father and blinded his brother, the heir to the throne. Jamsheed's son, Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah, ran away to Vijayanagar. Little is known of Jamsheed's reign, but he is remembered as having been cruel. When he died in 1550, his son returned to Golconda and claimed the throne.
