Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Theorizing a Bengali Nation written by Sucharita Sen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the philosophical and political roots of the United Bengal movement of 1947 that emerged as a final bid to keep the province united against Partition. Through Abul Hashim, one of its architects, it explores the idea of an independent Bengali nation in the years preceding Independence and examines the underlying tensions of the concept of a Muslim-led independent Bangalistaan and its repercussions on a sizeable Hindu minority. Focusing on Hashim’s writings and political contributions, this monograph highlights his vision of an aesthetic identity rooted within religious principles as well as civic ideals in a new united Bengal, where common law underwritten through religious ideals did not need to be necessarily opposed to western discourses of a modern state. A major, new intervention, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern Indian history, especially the Partition, politics, and South Asian studies.

Download or read book Essays of a Lifetime written by Sumit Sarkar and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distillation of the historian’s finest writings on modern Indian historical themes. For the past forty years or more, the most influential, respected, and popular scholar of modern Indian history has been Sumit Sarkar. When his first monograph, The Swadeshi Movement in Bengal 1903–1908, appeared in 1973 it soon became obvious that the book represented a paradigm shift within its genre. As Dipesh Chakrabarty put it when the work was republished in 2010: “Very few monographs, if any, have ever rivalled the meticulous research and the thick description that characterized this book, or the lucidity of its exposition and the persuasive power of its overall argument.” Ten years later, Sarkar published Modern India 1885–1947, a textbook for advanced students and teachers. Its synthesis and critique of everything significant that had been written about the period was seen as monumental, lucid, and the fashioning of a new way of looking at colonialism and nationalism. Sarkar, however, changed the face not only of modern Indian history monographs and textbooks, he also radically altered the capacity of the historical essay. As Beethoven stretched the sonata form beyond earlier conceivable limits, Sarkar can be said to have expanded the academic essay. In his hands, the shorter form becomes in miniature both monograph and textbook. The present collection, which reproduces many of Sarkar’s finest writings, shows an intellectually scintillating, skeptical-Marxist mind at its sharpest. “ here we see Sarkar grappling with his intellectual heritage, negotiating his own location within the new Marxist nationalist history of the period. Working within its frame, he pushes at the boundaries, disturbing neat classificatory schemes, resisting false historical comparisons, problematizing categories, and questioning linear narratives. The desire to explore contrary experiences and contradictory pictures is part of his process of questioning.” — Neeladri Bhattacharya

Download or read book Hindu Revivalism in Bengal 1872 1905 written by Amiya P. Sen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an intensive study of certain facets of social and intellectual life in Bengal between 1872 and 1905, particularly Hindu revivalism. The period under discussion represents significant progress in the area of social and religious reform as well as a period which witnessed hostile attitudes towards such reforms. This is probably the first major work concerning the controversy that surrounded the Brahmo Marriage Bill of 1868–72 and the Consent Bill of 1890–92. The major source material for this book comprises contemporary Bengali literature, including essays, newspaper articles and correspondence, novels, short stories, drama, and poetry. Though this study purports to be a history of intellectual life in Bengal and the broader intellectual trends and movements, it is largely an examination of certain developments centred in or around Calcutta.
