Chhuti Khan

Nusrat Khan, (Persian: نصرت خان, Bengali: নুসরত খাঁন)[1] better known as Chhuti Khan (Bengali: ছুটি খাঁ), was a military commander of the Bengal Sultanate and Governor of Chittagong in the early 16th century.

Khan was born into a Muslim family of nobles that served as military commanders under the Sultan of Bengal and were living in the Chittagong region for generations.

He had good relations with Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah, the Sultan of Bengal.

He ordered his court poet, Shrikar Nandi, to translate the Ashvamedha chapter of the Mahabharat from Sanskrit to Bengali.

The poem was written in a couplet and tripathi matra format and was called the Chhutikhani Mahabharata.
