When the Mughals Came for Bengal: The Conquest of Isa Khan
Om avsnittet
Before Bengal was a Mughal subah, it was a patchwork of independent zamindars and chieftains who refused to bow to Delhi. In the late 16th century, one man stood at the center of that resistance: Isa Khan, the leader of the Baro-Bhuiyans. This episode unpacks the decades-long Mughal campaign to subdue Bengal, focusing on the battles, diplomacy, and betrayals that finally broke the confederacy. We follow Mughal governor Man Singh as he methodically dismantles Isa Khan's network, from the fall of Katrabo to the siege of the Bhati region. We also explore the legacy of Isa Khan's son, Musa Khan, who continued the fight after his father's death. Along the way, we touch on the geopolitical stakes involved—Mughal rivalry with the Arakanese and Portuguese, and the economic importance of Bengal's river trade. A story of resistance, shifting alliances, and the relentless expansion of one of the world's great empires.
