Masum Khan (Bengali: মাসুম খাঁ; b. 1604) was a zamindar of Bengal. He was the eldest son and successor of Baro-Bhuiyan leader Musa Khan and the grandson of Isa Khan.[2]
Family
[edit]His father, Musa Khan, and grandfather, Isa Khan, were both prominent leaders of the Baro-Bhuiyan confederacy. His great-grandfather, Kalidas Gazdani, converted to Islam under the guidance of Ibrahim Danishmand and took the name Sulaiman Khan.[3] Sulaiman married the Sultan's daughter Syeda Momena Khatun, Masum Khan's great-grandmother, and received the Zamindari of Sarail.[4]
Rule
[edit]Following the death of his father in April 1623, the Subahdar of Mughal Bengal Ibrahim Khan Fath-i-Jang recognised Masum Khan as the successor of Musa's estate.[2]
Masum Khan served in the Mughal army's 1632 Siege of Hooghly against the Portuguese. He also took part in the Mughal invasion of Assam in 1636.[2]
