Khiḍr Khān Surak (Bengali: খিজির খান সুরক, romanized: Khizir Khan Shurok, Persian: خضر خان سرک) was the governor of Bengal from 1539 to 1541 CE.
When Sher Shah Suri ascended to the throne of Delhi in 1539, he appointed Khan to govern the province of Bengal.
In 1541, Sher Shah Suri, who recognised the importance of the Bengal province for the development of the Sur Empire,[1] was informed of a number of Khan's treacherous acts.
[2] It is thought that Khan married the late Sultan's daughter as a method to claim independence and be known as the rightful sovereign heir of the Hussain Shahi dynasty.
Upon reaching him, Suri questioned Khan on why he married the princess without his consent and why he was sat on the Tawqi (raised platform) as the independent Sultans of Bengal used to do.
