Early Life
According to Abul Fazl, the author of Akbarnama:
| “ | Isa Khan's father was born in Bais Rajput clan. He revolted and was later killed in a battle against Islam Shah Suri. Isa and his brother Ismail were sold as slaves. After the death of Islam Shah Suri, Taj Khan Karrani came to rule Bengal. Qutubuddin, the paternal uncle of Isa Khan, consolidated his position under Taj Khan. Qutubuddin then brought the two brothers from Turan region. Isa Khan gradually solidified his position under the Karrani rulers. | ” |
The name of Isa Khan's father is not mentioned in Akbarnama. But according to the late descendants living in Jangalbari, his original name was Kalidas Gajdani. After conversion to Islam, he was named Sulaiman Khan. The year he was killed in the battle was 1548.
