Bengal Subah
The Bengal Subah was a significant administrative region during the Mughal Empire, established in the late 16th century. It encompassed the modern-day areas of West Bengal, Bangladesh, and parts of Assam. The region was known for its rich agricultural land, thriving trade, and cultural diversity, making it one of the wealthiest provinces in the empire.
Under Mughal rule, the Bengal Subah was governed by a Subahdar, who was responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting taxes, and overseeing local administration. The region played a crucial role in the empire's economy, contributing to its wealth through the production of textiles, rice, and other goods.
