Islam Khan's successors pushed back the frontiers of the independent Mongoloid Rajahs of the Kuch and Ahom families to the western bank of the Bar Nadi (by annexing Hajo) and thus protected Bengal from raids on that side. Under Mughal peace, as fully and finally imposed in 1614, Bengal recovered wealth and population, trade expanded by rapid strides, industries developed, and a great indigenous literature grew up in the hands of the Vaishnav sect.
