The Graveyard of Malik Ikhtiar-ud-din Muhammed Bakhtiar Khaliji

[Bilal9]

Below is the ruin of the famous Palace (now known as Nouda Burj in Chapai Nawabganj) of Raja Laksman Sen that Bkhtiyar Khaliji invaded in 1202 and occupied.

Though the video commentator says it was Raja's Capital city, it is not true. Raja Laksman Sen used to live in this temple City in his old age, and the Crown Prince Biswesshor (বিশ্বেশ্বর) Sen ruled the Kingdom on his behalf sitting in the Capital Lokkhonaboti (লক্ষণাবতী) also in Chapai Nawabganj.

Please note that the Muslim foreign settlers could not properly pronounce Lokkhonaboti and it changed to Lukhnouti. Of course, the name Bengal was not yet used then.

Raja fled the Palace and Biswessor also fled from the Capital. This Dynasty ruled over half of Bengal from its new Capital in Bikrampur for about 100 years.

Here is the accurate English translation of the Tabakat-E-Nasiri, Thanks to the brave English souls who kept this record for posterity.

Thanks for the uploading. The writer of Tabaqat-i-Nasiri was not a native of Bengal. He came to Bengal quite a few years after the death of Malik Bakhtiyar Khaliji. It was a time when many of his troops were still alive. He interviewed many of them to write the 1202 to 1206 chronicles.

All other historians after him followed this chronicle and some other sources of information to write. Anyway, I thought that the graveyard of Bkhtiyar was located somewhere in Maldaha or Sasaram in Bihar.

Now, the 1st video that I uploaded says it is in Chapai Nawabganj the seat of the Lukhnouti/ Gaur govt. And, about the Palace of Raja Laksman Sen, I used to think it was in Nadia/ Kushtia. But, the new video says this is also in Chapai Nawabganj a little away from Lukhnouti. It is now called Noida Burj and Shaher Burj.
