Key Points
Ghiyasuddin Mahmud Shah (c. 1533-1535 CE)
- The last Sultan of the Hussain Shahi dynasty, who ruled from Sonargaon and was a weak, pleasure-loving and easy-going ruler who according to many historians neither had diplomatic foresight, nor any practical approach to the political problems which beset Bengal during his reign.
- His reign was marked by rebellions, including those by Khuda Baksh khan, his general and governor of the Chittagong area, and Makhdum Alam, the governor of Hajipur.
- During his reign in 1534 CE, the Portuguese who had earlier arrived in Chittagong, were captured and sent to Gaur as prisoners on charges of misbehaviour. But even at the position of superiority, he reconciled with them and permitted them to establish factories at Chittagong and Hughli.
- Ghiyasuddin and his Portuguese allies were defeated by Sher Shah Suri and his Afghans in 1538 CE, as his appeals to Mughal Emperor Humayun went unanswered.
