The History of Bengal - Muslim Period (1200 - 1757)

1948

'The tide of migration of the nomads swelled by the more adventurous elements in the countries through which they moved took its destined course to the east of the Indus and permanently affected the political destiny of India by giving the character of cclonisation to the Muslim conquest of Northern India in the thirteenth century. [...] A variant of the same story is given by Isami the author of the Fqtuh-us-sethitin a metrical history of India written less than a century after the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri who'tells us that Muhammad Bakhtydr reached Nadia in the disguise of the leader of a merchant-caravan from Seistan and induced Rai Lakhmaniya to come out of the palace to inspect the thorough-bread Tartar horses and excellent broc [...] It is not clear why the conqueror of Gaur had become more interested in exploring the secrets of the terra incognita between the uplands of Varendra and the Himalayas across which lay the lands of Tibet China and Turkestan—than the rich and civilized kingdoms of the plain lying within the easy reach of his conquering arms. [...] Muhammad Shirwn was 'a man of extraordinary courage sagacity and benevolence ; but the most powerful Lord Marcher of the previous regime found himself the weakest of rulers with his hands tied by the power and pretensions of the Khilji oligarchy at horde and threatened from abroad by the aggressive imperialism of the Sultanate of Delhi. [...] HUS511uddin 'Iwaz who had been the fief-holder of Gangtori2 in the riverain tract at the mouth of the Kosi now became the fief-holder of Devkot at the suggestion (ba-isharat ) of Qae-maz Rumi." So under this a?rangement the Khilji principality was to be governed from Devkot by a proteg6 of the Delhi Sultan in exclusion of Malik 'Izz-uddin Muhammad Shiran.
