The heroism of Baro Bufay
According to historians, barobhuya is not exactly twelve. In this case, twelve words have been used in many terms. During this period between the Afghan rule in Bengal and later the Mughal rule, these bhuiyas kept themselves in control of Bengal. They even raised resistance against the powerful Mughal ruler Akbar and Jahangir.
Baro Buiya, sometimes jointly and mostly, resisted the Mughal aggression separately and governed their respective areas as an independent or semi-independent regime. There was no central rule, or even if it was nominal.
Many modern scholars believe that barobhuya refers to just twelve people. Twelve Bhuiyas were identified separately in Bengal during that time. Because these twelve people resisted against the Mughal rule. They came to the conclusion by pointing out Abul Fazl's 'Akbarnnama' and Mirza Nathan's 'Baharistan-i-Ghaibi'. However, it is known that after Emperor Akbar, Bhuiyan of Bengal was compelled to accept the loyalty of Mughal rule during Jahangir's rule.
Twelve brothers were not descendants of a royal family. They were zamindars or land owners and patriots. With strong courage and courage, they resisted the Mughal aggression for three decades. After 1612, Islam Khan forced them to surrender. Then Barhwiyya named the name only on folklore and history pages. One of the few of Baro-bhuyyaad's heroes-
Isa Khan (1529-1599 AD)
Among the barovers of Bengal, who surpassed everyone in heroism, Jesus At that time, other Bhuiyas considered him a leader. Isa Khan was the zamindar of Sarail, ruler of Bhati region and leader of Baroofiyyad
Jesha Khan's grandfather Bhagwat of Baish Rajput, who first came from Ayodhya to Bengal and took up service under Sultan Ghiyasuddin Mahmood. After his death, son Kalidas got the post of Dewan of the father of Goddhani. Later, Kalidas accepted the name of Islam and adopted the name of Solomon and got married to Sultan's daughter, Syeda Momena Khatun and got the Zamindari of Sarail. Their son Isha Khan and Ismail Khan were born at this time.
After the death of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Mahmud, son-in-law Solaiman demanded himself a legitimate heir and rebelled against the newly established Afghan rule. In the war against the Afghan rulers, he was defeated and killed and his two sons, Isa and Ismail, were imprisoned and sold as slaves to Iranian merchants.
When Taj Khan Karrani took power in Bengal and Bihar in 1563, Isa Khan's uncle Kutub Khan became his lover and was appointed to the court. During this period, he found his nephews (Jesus and Ishmael) and liberated them from Iran merchants in exchange of money.
When Isa Khan returned to the country, he got the zamindari of his father Sarail in the effort of uncle Kutub Khan. After the death of Taj Khan Karrani in 1565, Isa Khan was providing all-out cooperation to the Afghan rulers against the Mughal invasion. In 1573, he helped Dawood Khan in the expedition against King Udayanikya of Tripura. In 1575, he helped the commander of Dawood Khan to oust the Mughal Fleet from the surrounding areas of Sonargaon.
In 1576, when Daud Khan Karrani was defeated and killed in the battle of Agamahal near Rajamahal, in fact, the rule of Afghan rule in Bengal was ended, but Isa Khan was operating his kingdom almost independently at this time. But he realizes that he can not face the Mughals alone with his limited strength. So he has good relations with neighboring zamindars and Afghan chiefs and formed a political and military alliance against Mughal. He also established friendship relations with the neighboring Tripura and the King of Kamrup respectively, Amarikamika and Raghudev. In addition, Isa Khan has ensured the proper use of the main vessels of the main force of his military power.
In 1578, when Mughal subahdar Khan Jahan proceeded against Isa Khan and established the army in Bhawale, Isa Khan confronted the Mughal army in Kastely (belonging to Kishoreganj district) near Surail. At the beginning of the war, Isa Khan was defeated and sought the help of Tripura Raj Amar Manikya. The support of Tripura actually backslide the Mughal forces. According to Rajmala's description, approximately 1580 AD in response to the request of many workers for digging the 'Amar Sea Dighi' of King Amar of Tripura, Isa Khan helped the Tripura king by sending one thousand workers. In addition, in 1581, he fought against Fateh Khan, the zamindar of Taraf, as the Principal of the Amar Manikya Navy.
With the opportunity of rebellion against Mughal commanders against Emperor Akbar, Isa Khan was growing in power in East Bengal in 1580 AD. In 1581-82 he declared himself the master of the Bhati region and himself took the title of 'Masnad-i-Ala'. According to the sources, at this time, he shifted his administrative center from Sarail to Sonargaon and built the fort at Katrabo, Kalagachia and Khijirpur near Sonargaon.
Already, two rebel commanders of emperor Akbar, Masum Khan Kabuli and Qatlu Khan joined with Isa Khan. Emperor Akbar appointed commander of Azad in Bengal in 1583 and ordered the operation against Isa Khan Masnad-e-Ala, the asylum seeker of the Mughal commander. During this period, Isa Khan's fight with the Mughal commander Shahbaz Khan and Batakpur with Tarsun Khan was fought. The Mughal forces were defeated in the war. In 1584 AD The Mughal commander Shahbaz Khan again carried out an operation against Isa Khan. During this time the battlegrounds of Dhaka, Bikrampur,Sonargaon, Katarabo etc. were in the area. In this phase of conflict with the Mughals, Isa Khan was successful. During this time, he established his authority in almost all the Bhati areas and established his capital at Katarabo along the banks of the Lakhsya river. Prior to 1584, Isa Khan took the leadership of Barhufiyyad.
In 1586, Isa Khan defeated Samanta Raja Laksman Hazra of Junglebari of Kishoreganj. This year Mughal subahdar Shahbaz Khan again sent troops against Bhuiyan Khan. But the campaign of the Mughals also fell into failure.
In 1588, Isa Khan fought with Chand Roy and Kedar Rai. Mansingh subahdar was appointed in 1594 AD and came to Bengal and tried to prepare for the campaign against Isa Khan. In December 1595, Mansingh left the rajmahal against Isa Khan, but there was no war between them. In September 1597 Mansingh sent two forces on the land and the water against Isa Khan. Mansingh's son the Mughal forces, under the leadership of Draja Singh, achieved some success at the beginning. They even attacked Isa Khan's capital, Katrabo. When Jesus came from six crores away from Bikrampur with many boat including his allies, and the Mughal army surrounded the navy, the fight between both sides (September, 1597). Many of the Mughal forces, including Dharan Singh, were killed in the war and many Mughal soldiers were captured by Isa Khan. Then there was no other fight with the Mughal forces.
In the life of Isa Khan, Mughal Emperor Akbar could not establish his authority in the Bhati region of East Bengal.
