Isa Khan

Isa Khan (Middle Bengali: ঈশা খাঁ, 17 April 1536 – 29 August 1599) was one of the 16th-century Baro-Bhuyan chieftains of Bengal. During his reign, he successfully unified the chieftains of Bengal and resisted the Mughal invasion of Bengal. It was only after his death that the region fell totally under Mughal control. He remains an iconic figure throughout Bangladesh as a symbol of his rebellious spirit and unity.
