The Prithim Pasha Family is the aristocratic family from the Prithimpassa Union, Kulaura Upazila, Moulvibazar, Sylhet, Bangladesh. The family was of the erstwhile feudal nobility of East Bengal. Prithimpassa Nawab Bari is a place of tourist attraction. The family played important roles in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Partition of India and Sylhet referendum in 1947, and the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. Sakhi Salamat Isfahani is the founder of the family who settled here from Persia in 1499. History{{Bengal Zamindars series}}Sixteenth/Seventeenth centurySakhi Salamat of Isfahan settled in the Bengal Sultanate from the Timurid Empire in 1499. His son was Ismail Khan Lodhi who was, during the reign of Sultan Sulaiman Khan Karrani, made governor of Orissa and given the title Khan-e-Jahan Amir al-Umara. Later Daud Khan Karrani, son of Sulaiman Khan Karrani also confirmed him as governor of Orissa at 1573 AD. After the Battle of Raj Mahal, the whole of the Bengal Sultanate was ceded to the Mughal Empire. Mughal Emperor Akbar granted Ismail Khan jagirs and made him the local Nawab. In the reign of Jahangir in 1612 AD, Eastern Bengal was conquered and during that period all local leaders under Subahdar Islam Khan I were brought under the Emperor Jahangir and were settled in the area with assurances to live peacefully under the Mughal ruler. Nawab Muhammad Shamsuddin was the son of Ismail Khan who lived from 1624 to 1682 A.D. Eighteenth centuryMuhammad Shamsuddin's son, Moulvi Muhammad Rabi Khan titled Danishmand was an erudite person and a highly respected and revered scholar of that time. He was the teacher of the children of Nawab of Bengal, Sarfaraz Khan as well as Shahamat Jung and others. He obtained jagirs under sanad (negotiation) from Sarfaraz Khan, Alivardi Khan and Shahamat Jung (who was Naeb Subehdar of Dhaka). He obtained a Jagir from Qasim Ali Khan, also under a sanad and these sanads (negotiation papers) are still in the family. Moulvi Rabi according to history emerges as a figure of considerable charismatic authority and organisational ability. He commanded considerable manpower to carry out his work. He received sanad from Emperor Alamgir II.[1][2] In 1756 he established Rabir Bazar (Rabi's Market), a town in Kulaura and in close proximity to the village of Prithimpassa. There was even a calendar in his honour in the reign of Nazims of Bengal. Moulvi Muhammad Ali Khan, son of Moulvi Muhammad Rabi Khan, was the assistant Qazi of Sylhet in 1773 and afterwards became a Qazi of Taraf (modern-day Habiganj). In 1793 he strongly put down the rebellion of Naga and Kuki tribes. For this, he obtained a Jagir and some authority of keeping troops and other honours from the British Raj. In 1819 the Jagirs were made permanent with the Nawab family. Nineteenth centuryIn the anti-British Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the family sided with the mutineers. Some 300 sepoys who revolted against the British, looted the Chittagong Treasury and took shelter with Nawab Gaus Ali Khan, son of Muhammad Ali Khan.[3] The treasury remained under rebel control for several days. His son was Moulvi Ali Ahmad Khan who helped the British in the Battle of Lushai in 1869.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=130}} The British thanked him and as a reward, exempted him from the 1878 Indian Arms Act.
