Mir Madan

Mir Madan was one of the most trusted officers and chief of the artillery of Nawab Siraj Ud Dowla. On 23 June 1757, in the Battle of Plassey, Mir Madan fought for the Nawab whereas Commander-in-chief Mir Jafar and others remained standstill. Madan's troops caused a serious pressure on the forces of the East India Company. At 2 pm on that day, he was mortally wounded by a British cannonball and died. His two fellow fighters, Nawe Singh Hajari and Bahadur Khan, also died.

Some cadres of his troop buried him secretly in Faridpur village, Rejinagar, near the Palashi battlefield. This place is known as Farid Shah's Dargah (Mosque).
