The '''Hussain Shahi dynasty''' ({{lang-bn|হুসেন শাহী খান্দান}}, {{lang-fa|حسين شاهی خاندان}}) was a family which ruled the late medieval [[Sunni Muslim]] [[Sultanate of Bengal]] from 1494 to 1538.<ref>For a map of their territory see: {{cite book |last1=Schwartzberg |first1=Joseph E. |title=A Historical atlas of South Asia |date=1978 |publisher=University of Chicago Press |location=Chicago |page=147, map XIV.4 (f)|isbn=0226742210 |url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/pager.html?object=186}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The dynasty's founder, [[Alauddin Husain Shah]], who had indigenous Bengali ancestry, is considered as the greatest of all the sultans of Bengal for bringing a cultural renaissance during his reign. He conquered [[Kamrup region|Kamrup]] and [[Odisha|Orissa]] and extended the Sultanate all the way to the port of [[Chittagong]], which witnessed the arrival of the first Portuguese merchants.<br />
<br />
His son, [[Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah]], gave refuge to the Afghans during the invasion of [[Babur]] though he remained neutral. Known as the Akbar of Bengal, Nasrat was known by the Hindus of Bengal as Nripati Tilak and Jagatbhusan. He encouraged the translation of [[Sanskrit literature]] into the [[Bengali language]] and built the [[Chota Sona Masjid]]. Nasrat Shah's treaty with Babur saved Bengal from a [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] invasion.<br />
<br />
The last Sultan of the dynasty, who continued to rule from [[Sonargaon]], had to contend with rising Afghan activity on his northwestern border. Eventually, the Afghans broke through and sacked the capital in 1538 where they remained for several decades until the arrival of Mughal dynasty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tanmoy.tripod.com/bengal/hussaindyn.html|title = The Hussain-Shahi Dynasty}}</ref><br />
