Who is Khwaja Abul Farah

Can you show me any sources outside of Achyutcharan's which mentions a so-called son of Muhammad al-Mahdi? @User talk:Alivardi

@UserNumber: Fair point. Removed the "Some Bengali sources..." comment.

Alternate story

edit

Hi, I found some information which gives a completely different story about Nasiruddin. Take a look at this: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5SLMDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT29&dq=Bhadreswer&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwip7I-lnuvpAhXPTcAKHdtmAVAQ6AEILDAA#v=onepage&q&f=false UserNumber (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@UserNumber: Yeah I've seen that book before too. The problem is that the publisher, Notion Press, produces self-published works, i.e., books that anyone could have written. These are generally avoided here (see WP:SELFPUB). It also looks like neither of the writers are historians, so if they're disagreeing with more reliable sources, it's probably best to ignore them.
