The Muharram Rebellion (Bengali: মহররমের বিদ্রোহ Môhôrromer Bidroho)[2] was a Bengali uprising which took place in early December 1782 against the East India Company in colonial Sylhet, eastern Bengal (now Bangladesh). The rebellion was under the leadership of the Pirzada and his two brothers, Syed Muhammad Hadi and Syed Muhammad Mahdi.[3] The main battle took place in the Mughal-built Sylhet Shahi Eidgah and its surrounding hills.
