The Bengal Sultanate refers to an independent medieval Islamic state established in Bengal in 1342. Its realm and influence extended across modern-day Bangladesh, East India and West Burma. Several dynasties ruled over Bengal Sultanate sequentially. It disintegrated at the end of the 16th-century and was absorbed into the pan-South Asian Mughal Empire and the Arakanese Kingdom of Mrauk U.

HistoryEdit

Delhi lost its hold over Bengal in 1338, thus paving the way for the assumption of independence by Ilyas Khan."[1] In 1342, a local warlord, Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah proclaimed himself as monarch of the Kingdom of Lakhnauti. He would go on to consolidate his rule by conquering the other independent kingdoms of Bengal before proclaiming himself as Sultan of Bengal.

The absorption of Bengal into the Mughal Empire was a gradual process beginning with the defeat of Bengali forces under Sultan Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah by Babur at the Battle of Ghaghra and ending with the Battle of Raj Mahal where the Pashtun Karrani dynasty, the last reigning Sultans of Bengal were defeated.

  2. Why immigrants are blessing and along the question do born in earth , right on move.

    Why immigrants are conspired by enemy states.
    They give anti state ideas, give miserable relations, all sorts of ill issues.
    Even immigrants or domiciled or married to are also regrets by enemy intelligence, even breaking their marital relations.
    We see in crisis time state authority contacts their foreign settlers that GCC
    Like us, and manipulate issues in their country, like job , security issue, marital issue, business query, servilances,

    One of the most negligence by the Bangladesh and familiar states to local immigrants lifes.

  3. What foreigners in local relations do for the state they migrants.
    If they have friends, colegue, relative, ex relations, out side other countries even in their own birth lands, they contact for the state authorised agencies and influence national interest.

    So why not enemy agency will take them back home or their country.

    Division and differences with nations.
    In the advent of the industrial revolution and rise of British Royal Imperial Navy,
    We see world wide Racial change integrations.
    The benefit of such is nothing but to check the rise of unified force against British empire.

    Thought out and founds fact as well that Muslim centers in pre European renesa and indutrialistion impractical without them.
    Question rises was they conspired or test ground by their over curious moderators. Coz its heard that Muslim rulers were going through such change with own nation those are selected, and gone to secret places.

    Such secret operations were later hands lover to illusions of strange and pathetic defeat of muslim ruler gradually.
    Its strange why they leave such ruling of take caring structure.
    Is this such you can not longer or decided to defeat.

    Now Question is how British and western scholars made this thing possible for their formations of industrial civilizations in their forms,

    In formations dragged by students of Europe who comes to Muslim country to study also engaged in shifting of centers for study and research, but this taken oath to them, why you here, what you will do in your country back, how to guide others, how to remain good to your religion ( Muslim accepted Christian and Judaic faith over church and sects ).

    So they don't have any limitation to learn and collect but need permissions for that other wise it may become the part of course of ancient saint, may babilonian curse, that one day it may come to you for justice.
    But it not family sentimentality rather Muslims observe them meet them, and also help them doing their dream to , but not conspiracies against them, then think goes to secret agencies, and their guardians ship towards all human suspends by its nature, its not good for anyone.

    Coz they secretly exist among you with the commands they carry with them.

    Its your goodness in supporting such Guardians ruler or Guiders world wide specially from once world greatest military powers and highly enrich academia.

    If we concentrate to British empirical arrangements for colonization in Asia and Africa.
    What happens to Scandinavians Greenland and Alaska populations.
    Were they militerized and actually totally evacuated to Asia and north and scout Africa.

    But how its know that British used north sea and pacific roots to drive naval fleets to Asia and they also reach Mexicans coasts as well.

    They try to conquered the far east regions of Asia and fail but tried after taking south Asia africa and finally middle east.

    They used that root one way, and the Arab madeterian, returns to Britain's.

    What they did is athonic mix to strategical places, so we see new gene of races in sought Asia Oceania indo-china.
    And cost of medeterians and south and south cost of Africa.

    A migration taking place till now fro this reasons to Britain and its provincial countries world wide.

    Do atomic Change or mixing is still can be a conspiracy to work with.

    Or truth should be reveled for secure future.

    Internal purchase of close people of Muslim rulers or sending trained people to them even in far east reasons king People, took place.

    But it is claimed that teachings of Far east Asia specially in Japanese orders rooted in ancient time of Arabia, when people come from there or contacted to the Companions or messengers to the prophet of Mecca, and its claimed now their teaching is found true Islamic thoughts and action course.

    It claimed from sources of the Japanese intervention in indo-Bangla war specially had taken cares, though Japanese took Netaji corordially and sent to German but actually the didn't take his post colonial Indo-Bangla and Burma-Bangla political and ritual forms.

    And what ever assurance given to netazi for such, but actually seemt he is not satisfied or in confusions, perhaps his tendency was a participation with German Japan and British american to let Appear the Post Mugolistan to its true form with capital in Chittagong and manage Calcutta for final shift in Dhaka.
