Conquest of Sylhet

The conquest of Sylhet is commonly associated with the expansion of Muslim political and spiritual networks into the Sylhet region around 1303, with Shah Jalal central to later memory. The event is historically important, but details of chronology and military sequence depend on later traditions as well as regional histories.
