The Senas: Decline
At the beginning of the 13th century, Muhammad Bin Bakhtiyar Khalji, one of Mohammad Ghori’s generals, invaded Bihar and Bengal, assaulted Nabadwip, and annexed them to their Islamic kingdom (c. 1203 – 1204 CE).
He subdued the Sena in eastern Bengal and took control of northwest Bengal.
But by the mid-13th century, the Sena’s power had entirely diminished as the Deva dynasty had completely deposed the Sena.

The Senas
In the eleventh and twelfth century CE, the Sena dynasty reigned over parts of Bihar as well as Bengal. They are well known for being Brahmanism’s defenders. Some of the current characteristics of the Bengali language and script came about because of the Senas. Bengali society was likewise systematised during Sena hegemony, and religious writings such as the Upapuranas formalised this system. Their encouragement led to the flourishing of Sanskrit literature. The Sena Empire and the Sena Kingdom are other names for the dynasty.
