Akbar's conquest of Bengal

Timeline

1. 1574Patna · BiharAfter Dawud raided Zamania and elsewhere, Akbar came to the eastern front, directing the capture of Hajipur and Patna. Dawud abandoned the cities and retreated east; Munim Khan was ordered to pursue, opening the way into the Bengal plains.
2. 1575Tukaroi · West BengalMunim Khan and Todar Mal defeated Dawud's forces at Tukaroi; Karrani remnants retreated to Katra. The Katra treaty followed: Dawud ceded Bengal and Bihar, keeping only Orissa as a vassal. The Mughals briefly occupied Tanda, and Munim Khan moved his seat toward Gaur.
3. 1575–1576Gaur · West BengalIn October 1575 Munim Khan died of plague, shaking the Mughal garrison in eastern Bengal. Dawud counterattacked from Orissa, briefly recapturing Gaur and elsewhere; Karrani power revived, forcing Akbar to appoint a new general for the eastern campaign.
4. 1576Rajmahal · JharkhandKhan Jahan Husain Quli Beg, reinforced by the Bihar governor and others, defeated Dawud at Rajmahal. Dawud was captured and executed, ending the Karrani dynasty and Bengal Sultanate; Bengal became a Mughal subah. Local strongmen in the riverine tracts resisted for long, and firm imperial control over the whole region came only by the end of the 16th century.
