Shah Shuja Mosque

Shah Shuja Is Not Known To Have Made Extensive Conquests, Though He Appears To Have Sent Campaigns Against Hijli And Tippera. Bahadur Khan, A Habitual Rebel, Ruled Hijli (Medinipur District Of West Bengal) In The Southwestern Corner Of Bengal. In Shuja's Time He Delayed Payment Of Revenues; Shuja Took Prompt Action. Bahadur Khan Was Defeated, But He Purchased A Pardon By Promising To Pay More Revenues Than Before.* Shuja's War With Tippera Is Mentioned In The Rajmala, The Traditional History Of The Kings Of Tippera. The Raja Was Defeated, But He Made Peace By Ceding A Slice Of His Territory Bordering On Modern Comilla. Shuja Commemorated His Victory By Building A Mosque, Which Is Still Extant In Good Condition And Bears His Name, On The Bank Of The River Gumti Near Comilla Town.
