Shuja-ud-Din Muhammad Khan
- Shuja-ud-Din Muhammad Khan
Shuja-ud-Din Muhammad Khan (d. 1740) was the second "Nawab" of Bengal. He married Zinat-un-Nissa, the daughter of Murshid Quli Khan and after the death of his father-in-law in 1727 CE, he became the "nazim" (governor) of Bengal Subah (which became hereditary with his ascent to the throne). He sent a huge amount of money from his revenue collection to the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah and in return received the title of "Mutaman-i-Mulk Shuja-ud-Daula Asad Jang". In 1733 CE, he merged Bihar Subah with Bengal and divided the merged territory into four administrative divisions. After his death in 1740 CE, he was buried in Farahbag garden in Murshidabad. He was succeeded by his son Sarfaraz Khan.
