Ilyas Shah vs Delhi Sultanate Conflict

Delhi's campaigns failed to reverse Bengal's new sovereignty.

After Bengal's unification, Sultan Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah faced Firuz Shah Tughlaq's Bengal campaign of 1353-54 and withdrew into the fort of Ekdala. A second Delhi expedition in 1359-60, after Ilyas Shah's death, again failed to secure lasting control over Bengal.
