Career

In 1692, Khan granted land to Ram Jivan Chowdhury in Baurbhag Pargana.[2] He also gave land to Mustafi Haji in Isamati Pargana.[3] The little town (now a Union Parishad) of Inatganj Bazar in Nabiganj was founded and named after him. Inatganj became a centre for the Asian Jute trade. The current Inatganj High School was originally a jute warehouse. Many ships would crowd in the banks of Inatganj Bazar, and go to many corners of the world, and evidence of this remains at the present high school.[4] He preceded Faujdar Rafiullah Khan.[5]
