Mir Shamsuddin the Iraqi (died 1526) was a Sufi Shi'a missionary who managed to convert nearly two-thirds of Kashmir's Hindu population to the Shi'a sect during the reign of Fath Shah (1496–1505). These conversions were made using force as described in the Persian book 'Bharistan -e-shahi' written during those times, as also in his biography 'Tohaful Ahadab'. In fact in one single instance in 1517, 960 Kashmiri Hindus who resisted conversion were slaughtered under his guidance at a place on the edges of Dal Lake, now called the 'Bata Mazaar' meaning the graveyard of the Hindus.
