History
Governor of Bengal
Bughra Khan assisted his father, Sultan
Ghiyasuddin Balban, to crush the rebellion of the governor of Lakhnauti, Tughral Tughan Khan. Then Bughra was appointed the governor of Bengal. After the death of his eldest brother, Prince Muhammad, he was asked to take the throne of Delhi by Sultan Ghiyasuddin. But Bughra was indulged in his Bengal governorship and refused the offer.[1] Sultan Ghiyasuddin instead nominated Kaikhasrau,[2] son of Prince Muhammad.[1]
Independent Sultan of Bengal
After the death of Ghiyasuddin in 1287, Bughra Khan declared independence of Bengal. Nijamuddin, the Prime Minister, appointed Nasiruddin Bughra Khan's son,
Saryu river. But the father and the son reached an understanding instead of facing a bloody battle. Qaiqabad acknowledged Bughra Khan's independence from Delhi and also removed Nijamuddin as his wazir. Bughra Khan returned to Lakhnauti
.
Renouncing power
The death of Qaiqabad in 1289 shocked Bughra Khan. He left the power of Bengal for his other son, Rukunuddin Kaikaus in 1291.[3]
