A History of Assam c9.34

c9.34

The Muhammadan accounts of Husain Shāh’s invasion are very brief, but it appears that after sacking Kāmatāpur he reduced the country as far east as the Bar Nadi and left his son at Hājo as governor of the conquered territory. He celebrated his success by the erection of a Madrasah at Malda, the inscription of which bears a date corresponding to 1501–02 A.D. Some years later, an attempt was made to annex the Ahom country, and this led to the destruction of the entire Muhammadan army and the loss of the whole of the newly conquered territory.*
