Ikhtiar Uddin Muhammad Bin Bakhtiar Khilji: First Muslim ruler of Bengal(part-01)

 
Ikhtiar Uddin Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji was born and raised in present-day Turkish tribe in the southern village of Gmasi in Afghanistan. Born in a very ordinary family, converted to Islam just two generations ago, Bakhtiyar Khilji's physical structure was flawed, ugly in appearance, lengthening of hands and height compared to body. Because of physical attributes no one gave him any work, he had to travel day after day in search of luck. He was first appointed as a civilian in a house in Afghanistan. The ambitious Bakhtiyar Khilji left Deewani and moved to India in 7 and Kutubuddin tried to join Ibeke's army but was rejected. Then he moved further east to India and was stationed as a soldier in the Bedouin platoon under al-Din of Maklik Hizb. Shortly after, Ayodhya met Malik Husam al-Din, Bakhtiyar Khilji and Malik Husam first saw the battlefield between Bakhtiyar. The owner gave Bakhtiyar a seat in the Mirzapur parish between Hussain Vihar and Oudh. Within a few days, Bakhtiyar launched regular successful attacks on the weakened defensive areas of Bihar. Each time the attack, Khilji began to bring a large amount of looted goods and women to Mirzapur. Bakhtiyar Khilji's fame and fears spread as he succeeded in a few unprovoked attacks and expeditions, reaching Delhi with the news of his conquest. His name as a vicious warrior is synonymous with terror. Considering the possibilities, Qutbuddin Aibek sent him valuable clothes, a soldier's uniform, and nominated him as the commander of the Bihar invasion.

The scene of the political life of Bakhtiyar Khilji changed drastically with the occupation of Bihar in 121 AD. Only after the occupation of Bihar did Delhi realize the political and political significance of Bakhtiar. In the same year, with the help of Delhi, Bakhtiyar extended his army towards Bengal, and in 1201, the old ruler of Bengal invaded the kingdom of Laxman Sen. It is reported that Bakhtiyar's horse reached Navadvip so fast that the rest of his troops could not reconcile with him, so only 5 (in turn 3) cavalry were with him. Bakhtiar Lakshman Sen's defense system is already well understood. Bakhtiyar entered the palace of Lakshman Sen with 6 soldiers in disguise. Lakshman Sen, who is drunk with Vogue luxury, is just sitting down to eat lunch, at which point he escapes through the back door like a cowardly coward without any barrage of ambush. Already the rest of his army is reached. Bakhtiyar Khilji captured Gauda, ​​Lakshvati and the army of Bakhtiyar played Holi of Blood. All the men who were armed in the palace were killed, who tried to resist, like the sand dams in front of the torrent stream, to separate the children for slavery, and soldiers to rape every woman.
