Bakhtiyar Khalji's victory over the Sena Dynasty marks the beginning of Muslim rule in Bengal. The Sena Dynasty had ruled Bengal for centuries, but their defeat at the hands of Khalji led to a significant transition in power. Khalji's conquest of Bengal opened the doors for Muslim influence in the region.
The establishment of Muslim rule in Bengal had a lasting impact on the socio-political landscape of the region. It paved the way for the spread of Islam and the introduction of Muslim customs and traditions. The victory of Khalji also led to the assimilation of Persianate culture in Bengal, shaping the art, architecture, and language of the region.
The defeat of the Sena Dynasty by Bakhtiyar Khalji was a turning point in the history of Bengal, as it marked the end of Hindu rule and the beginning of a period of Muslim dominance. The event solidified the presence of Islam in Bengal and laid the foundation for the rich cultural heritage that continues to define the region to this day.
