Tipu Shah (Bengali: টিপু শাহ; died 1852) was the second leader of the mystic Pagal Panthi Order in Mymensingh (present-day Bangladesh).
He commanded the Order and the local peasantry in revolts against the British East India Company and managed to establish an independent state in Sherpur.
[1] Tipu Shah was born into a Sufi Muslim fakir family of Pathan ancestry who had settled in Letarkanda, Pargana Sushang (presently under Purbadhala, Netrokona).
[4][5] Tipu Shah led a rebellion against the zamindars (landlords) who collected the taxes for British East India Company.
Beginning in the name of Allah, he collected minimum taxes to run the administration and called for the construction of a mud-fortress known as Garh-Jarip, which functioned as his capital city.
