THE ZAMINDARS AND NAWABS OF BENGAL
Author: SAMIR GANGULIPublisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This book deals with the defiant resistance faced by Mughals from the Zamindars of Bengal for more than eighty years, the atrocities of the Nawabs of Bengal, and the false allegations on Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah by the British. History, during the Mughal period, was recorded by royal courtiers who wrote about the Emperors and Governors, exalting their victories and achievements. Rarely were the resistance of the Zamindars of Bengal recorded, if at all mentioned. The British contorted history to suit their schemes, denigrating and deriding the people of this country to justify colonial rule. The history of India, as taught to us, is not always a true depiction. It is the history of the foreigners who came and ruled India. The history has been repeatedly dressed up to suit their requirements. Facts have been misrepresented, misinterpreted or deliberately suppressed to serve the purpose of the ruler. The author has tried to present the occurrences in Bengal during the Mughal period from their correct perspective, through extensive research and cross-studies of many historians, both Indian and foreign, cross-vetting the truth and actuality.

Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
This work explores some of the constitutive elements in the life and mind of Bengal in the twentieth century. The author addresses some frequently unasked questions about the history of modern Bengal. In what way was twentieth-century Bengal different from 'Renaissance' Bengal of the late-nineteenth century? How was a regional identity consciousness redefined? Did the lineaments of politics in Bengal differ from the pattern in the rest of India? What social experiences drove the Muslim community's identity perception? How did Bengal cope with such crises as the impact of World War II, the famine of 1943 and the communal clashes that climaxed with the Calcutta riots of 1946? The author has chosen a significant period in the history of the region and draws on a wealth of sources archival and published documents, mainstream dailies, a host of rare Bengali magazines, memoirs and the literature of the time to tell his story. Looking closely at the momentous changes taking place in the region's economy, politics and socio-cultural milieu in the historically transformative years 1920-47, this book highlights myriad issues that cast a shadow on the decades that followed, arguably till our times.
