Military career
Qasim Khan led several failed military expeditions against neighboring regions. During his reign, he faced a combined attack of Arakanese and Portuguese forces. Because of a rift between these forces, Qasim Khan managed to thwart the expedition.
Because of his incompetency in this expedition, he was withdrawn from the governorship of Bengal and was replaced by Ibrahim Khan Fath-i-Jang in 1617.
