Story of Bengal and Bengalis: Ancient to Contemporary Era of Bangladesh & West Bengal : Genesis of Hindu-Muslim Discord

Which is more meaningful for us to know: how we LOST our independence or how we WON it? Undoubtedly the answer to the first question has priority. We must learn how only a handful of BrIt'sh could subjugate and rule zillions of us for nearly 200 years! This information will help us in taking care of the mistakes committed by our ancestors. It will also prepare us to meet similar challenges in future. Yet our textbooks don’t enlighten our students much on the subject. Also there are very few publications on this topic. Why?Since BrIt'sh rule started with their victory at the Battle of Plassey in Bengal this story is based on that background. It uncovers some obscured chapters of our past which are crucial for us to know.  NotwIt'standing its Bengali antecedents the storyline has a direct bearing on the historical criminality of entire Indian subcontinent. There are many unaddressed questions about socio-political history. Who had started the Hindu-Muslim discord and how? Why following partition the displaced people from Pakistan received different treatments in different regions in India? For the bookloves in general and history buffs in particular many such thought-provoking issues are there in this book.
