Saptagram port was recaptured by a joint attack of Bangaja and Rarhiya forces and Hindu Deva dynasty rule was established in whole of Rarhbhum.

● Restoration of Varendrabhum (1417 AD)

Maharaja Danujmardandev restored Varendrabhum in 1417 AD by defeating Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah of Bihar-Lakhnauty. The whole of Rarhbhum, Varendrabhum and Bangabhum were united to form the Sanatani Bāṅghālā Sāmrājya. He was the first to authorise name of the inhabitants of this empire as Bāṅgālī.

After the conquest of Pandunagar, as the Emperor of the independent Bengali nation, Mahāśhakta Raja Danujmardandev introduced his own coin engraved in Bengali script (Baṅgalipi), in which was engraved - 'শ্রীচণ্ডীচরণপরায়ণ/श्रीचण्डीचरणपरायण/Śrīcaṇḍīcaraṇaparāẏaṇa'

The Coin of Banghala Samrajya ruled by Maharajadhiraj Danujmardan Deva, engraved with Śrīcaṇḍīcaraṇaparāẏaṇa in Bangla script circa 1417

● Reform of Bengali social system:

It was during the reign of Maharaja Danujmardan Ramnath Dev that the first unified 36 Kūlas
and 3 Śhrēṇīs formed an united Bāṅgālī nation. He reformed the Kuleen Pratha of Bengali society like the Pala dynasty Gaudeshwar Parambhattarak Dharmapala or the Sena dynasty Gaudeshwar Ballal Sen. On the initiative of King Danujmardandeb, the Brahmin communities of Kulin Varendra, Kulin Rarhiya and Bangaja Shrotriya was united and their Panchopachar Pujapaddhati was determined. Danujmardan Dev re-established the Bangaja Kayastha Samaj by equating the society in Chandradwip. The popular name of this society was 'Bakla Samaj'. 


According to Dwija Bachaspati's 'Bangaj-Kuljisar-Sangraha'-
Ascending the throne of Chandradwip, Danujmardan Dev gained the honour of Gosthipati in Bangaja Kayastha society. Maharaja Danujmardandev himself was a member of the Maulika Kayastha branch of the Bharadwaj clan of the Deva dynasty. Under his leadership the Chandradwip aristocracy occupied the best place in Bengal.

Rayashrestha Maharaja Pratapaditya

At the beginning of the 16th century, when the shadowy darkness of the tyrannical Mughal Empire began to spread throughout India, the 8 independent Hindu kingdoms of Bengal kept the torch of independent traditional rule burning in Eastern India during the period of unrest. Among these kingdoms, under the leadership of Agnikul Gaurab Raishrestha Maharajadhiraj Pratapaditya of Jessore kingdom, the power of Hindus gradually took shape, and by landing on the front line against the invasion of the Mughal empire, he spread his rule over the whole of Bengal and built an integral traditional Jessore empire. At the end of the 16th century, Maharaja Pratapaditya extended Jessore's borders from Puri to Sandwip by suppressing the Lohani Pathans of the Orissa Sultanate and the Portuguese in the creeks. By ousting the Mughals from the whole of Eastern India and declaring the independence of Bengal, he re-established the Bengali nation's past glory of valour. Maharaj Pratapaditya
