History
When Ghiyasuddin Iwaj Khilji rebelled against Delhi Sultan Iltutmish, he sent his son Nasiruddin Mahmud along with Alauddin Jani to lead an invasion against Iwaj.[1] After the battle Iwaj had been defeated and Nasiruddin became the governor of Bengal. He received the title Malik-us-Sharq (Lord of the East) from Sultan Iltutmish.
In 1228, Nasiruddin attacked and killed Prithu, a Khen ruler (reigned: 1185–1228) of Assam.[2] He subsequently attacked Tibet. (Entirely incorrect and quoted without reading the cited material properly. In fact it was his father, who did these things.)
After ruling for one and a half years, Nasiruddin died in 1229.
