Isa Khan (Middle Bengali: ঈশা খাঁ, c. 17 April 1529 – September 1599) was the leader of the 16th-century Baro-Bhuiyan chieftains of Bengal.^[1] During his reign, he successfully unified the chieftains of Bengal and resisted the Mughal invasion of Bengal. It was only after his death that the region fell totally under Mughal control. He remains an iconic figure throughout West Bengal and Bangladesh as a symbol of his rebellious spirit and unity.
