Bakhtiyar Khalji emerged victorious in the campaign and subsequently annexed Nabadwip, a significant portion of the territory controlled by the Sena Dynasty.
Upon hearing of Khalji's intent to invade Bengal, many Brahmins and traders decided to leave the Sena capital in search of safer locations.
However, in a display of resilience, Lakshmana Sena chose to remain in Nadiya, ready to defend his realm.
[8][9][10] Bakhtiyar, leading his forces from Bihar, strategically positioned the majority of his army within a forest near the city of Nadia.
[8][23] The detailed account of this conquest or the expedition of Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji to Nadia is given in Tabaqat -i-Nasiri, an historical work, composed by Maulana Minahj-ud-din Abu Umar-i-Usman who held various high offices under the Sultans of Delhi.
