Ḥusām ad-Dīn ʿIwaz bin Ḥusayn Khaljī (Bengali: হুসামউদ্দীন ইওজ বিন হোসেন খলজী, Persian: حسام الدین عوض بن حسین خلجی), later known by his regnal title as Ghiyāth ad-Dīn ʿIwaz Shāh (Bengali: গিয়াসউদ্দীন ইওজ শাহ, Persian: غیاث الدین عوض شاه), was a two-time governor of Bengal under the Delhi Sultanate, and a member of the Khalji dynasty of Bengal. During his second term, lasting from 1212 to 1227, Khalji declared himself as an independent ruler of Bengal.
His regime has been described as "constructive" as Khalji made major developments to Bengal by innovating flood defence systems and interlinking major cities by means of constructing South Asia's earliest-recorded embankments and extending the Grand Trunk Road.[1][2] Khalji was also responsible for establishing Bengal's first naval force, the complete fortification of Lakhnauti (Gaur) and the founding of the fort-town of Basankot.[3]
