[[Sahib]] '''Muhammad Ja'faar ud-Din Mirza''' [[Mridha]] (born 1876 in [[Bengal]], died 1921 in [[Natore]]) was a [[Indian feudalism|feudal]] [[lord]] in [[Bengal]], [[British Empire]] who served as the second [[Zamindar of Natore]] from the [[Singranatore family|House of Singra and Natore]] and the "''[[Mridha]]''" ([[Defense Minister]]) under the [[Rajshahi Raj family|Maharajas of Rajshahi]].

==Family==
He was born in 1876 as the oldest child and first son of [[Zahir Shah Mirza|Muhammad Zaheer Shah Mirza]] [[Sahib]], the [[patriarch]] of the aristocratic [[Singranatore family]] in [[Mirza Mahal]] palace in [[Natore]] and educated privately in [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Arabic]], [[Hindi]], [[Urdu]], and [[Bengali language|Bengali]] before attending the [[Rajshahi Collegiate School]]. He married twice, firstly Humaira Begum and the Abeeda Sultana and had three sons and a daughter.

==Biography and military affairs (1870-1921)==
His father crushed the [[Pabna Peasant Uprisings]] in 1871 for which he was given tracts of land with the ownership made hereditary as a ''[[Madhyasvatva]]''. After the death of his father, he ascended to his position and rights as a ''[[zamindar]]''. His father had served under [[Maharaja]] Chondronath Roy of [[Natore]] and maintained 25 [[horse]]s for 30 [[Fighting stick|lathial]] ([[Infantry|foot soldiers]]) and three [[elephant]]s.

===Death===
He died in 1921 of [[Cholera]] in [[Natore Sadar Upazila|Natore Sadar]], [[British Raj]].

===Later successors and legacy===
The estate which he inherited was extended outwards and was made up of fragmented lands belonging to the declining [[Rajshahi Raj family|Ruling family of Natore]], which was at one point the second largest estate in all of [[Bengal]] after the [[Burdwan (Zamindari)|Maharajas of Burdwan]]. His son, [[Jalaluddin Mirza]] inherited the position after his death in Bengal.
