Bengal Sultanate! (Alternative)

The Sultanate of Bengal was a Muslim dynasty of Turkic origin, established in Bengal during the 14th century, as part of the Muslim conquest of the Indian subcontinent. It was the first independent unified Bengali kingdom under Muslim rule. The region became widely known as Bangalah and Bengala under this kingdom. The two terms are precursors to the modern terms Bangla and Bengal.
