His rule came after the decline of earlier strong dynasties and was marked by political instability and factional struggles among regional elites. Like other late Bengal sultans, Bahadur Shah struggled to maintain centralized authority as Afghan and local forces competed for control. His reign reflects the weakening of the sultanate shortly before the expansion of the Mughal Empire under Akbar, which would ultimately bring Bengal under Mughal rule later in the century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NumisMallstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51271938933051,"sku":"x11804-61031","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/1750\/6710\/files\/w61031.jpg?v=1779303149","url":"https:\/\/www.numismall.com\/products\/silver-rupee-bahadur-1555-60-mintless-type-965-ah-bengal-sultanate-india-b-968","provider":"NumisMall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
