Khan Jahan Ali ((ベンガル語:খান জাহান আলী)) d. ca. October 25, 1459, also known as Ulugh Khan and Khan-i-Azam, was a Muslim Sufi Saint and local ruler in Bagerhat (now in Bangladesh). The official title Khan-i-Azam signifies that he was an officer of the Bengal Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah I (1437– 1459). The word Ulugh before his name speaks of his Turkish origin. It is believed that he built the great Shait Gumbuj Mosque. Khan Jahan, a noble under the Tughlaqs, seems to have come to Bengal just after the sack of Delhi (1398) by Timur. He acquired the forest area of the Sundarbans asjagir (fief) from the sultan of Delhi and subsequently from the sultan of Bengal. He cleared up the dense forest in the Sundarban area to set up human settlements. He ruled over an area called Khalifatabad stretching up to Naldi to the north of Narail. ==Legacy== He founded some townships, built mosques, madrasahs and sarais, roads, highways and bridges, excavated a large number of dighis in the districts of greater Jessore and Khulna, that comprises the Mosque city of Bagerhat. Besides in his fortified metropolis of Khalifatabad (modern Bagerhat) he built three townships, such as Maruli Kasba, Paigram Kasba and Bara Bazar. He is said to have built a highway from Bagerhat to Chittagong, a long road from Samantasena to Badhkhali, and a road running from Shuvabara to Daulatpur in Khulna. The most notable of his architectural monuments are Shatgumbaj Mosque Khan Jahan died on 25 October 1459 (27 Dhul Hijjah 863 AH). A proposed airport in Mongla, Bagerhat is being named after him.〔http://www1.bssnews.net/newsDetails.php?cat=0&id=294992$date=2012-11-24&dateCurrent=2012-11-26 Retrieved 01.09.13.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khan Jahan Ali」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
