Mughal Prince Shah Shuja in Bengal: The Lost Kingdom of Arakan
Om avsnittet
In this episode of The History of Bangladesh, Lucas and Luna travel back to the 17th century to uncover the forgotten story of Mughal prince Shah Shuja, who fled to the kingdom of Arakan after losing the Mughal war of succession. Learn how Shuja sought refuge with King Sandathudamma in Mrauk U, a wealthy Buddhist kingdom on the Bay of Bengal, and how Portuguese pirates and rivalries shaped the region. The episode explores the fate of Shuja's family, the legend of his daughters' forced marriage into the Arakanese royal harem, and the cultural traces left by Mughal refugees in what is now Rakhine State. A tale of betrayal, survival, and the tangled histories of Bengal and Burma.
