Dawlat Wazir Bahram Khan

Asaduddin was born into a wealthy Bengali Muslim family in the city of Chittagong. It is thought that he was either from the neighbourhood of Jafrabad or Fatehabad. His father, Mubarak Khan, was the Vizier of the city's governor Nizam Sur. His ancestor, Hamid Khan, was a minister for the Sultan of Bengal Alauddin Husain Shah (r. 1494-1519) and was granted two parganas in Chittagong where he settled with his family. After his father's death, Bahram was made the next Vizier of Chittagong by its governor, Nizam Sur, at a young age. ==Legacy==

Bahram Khan remains one of the most well-known Bengali poets of the medieval era. Currently funded by the Government of Bangladesh, the Bangla Academy is the regulatory body for the research and promotion of the Bengali language. The first book that was published by the academy was Bahram Khan's Laily-Majnu, edited by Ahmed Sharif. ==References==
