Answers
Mirza Abu Talib, (c. 1600–1694) better known as Shaista Khan (Bengali: শায়েস্তা খান) was a general and the subahdar of Mughal Bengal. A maternal uncle to the emperor Aurangzeb,[5] he acted as a key figure during his reign. Shaista Khan initially governed the Deccan, where he clashed with the Maratha ruler Shivaji. However, he was most notable for his tenure as the governor of Bengal from 1664 to 1688. Under Shaista Khan's authority, the city of Dhaka and Mughal power in the province attained its greatest heights. His achievements include constructions of notable mosques such as the Sat Gambuj Mosque and masterminding the conquest of Chittagong. Shaista Khan was also responsible for sparking the outbreak of the Anglo-Mughal War with the English East India Company.
