The Sonargaon Sultanate: Bengal's Lost Golden Age
Om avsnittet
Episode 100 of The History of Bangladesh takes us to the 14th century, when the independent sultanate of Sonargaon flourished under Fakhruddin Mubarak Shah. We explore how this port city rivaled Delhi in trade, culture, and coinage—minting silver taka that became the standard for centuries. Lucas and Luna unpack the dynasty's rise, its architectural legacy at the Goaldi Mosque, and the mysterious collapse that left Sonargaon a ghost city. From Ibn Battuta's visit to the blending of Sufi and Hindu traditions, this episode reveals a forgotten chapter of Bengal's pre-Mughal splendor.
