Description

Bengal has long been one of the key centres of civilisation and culture in the Indian subcontinent.

However, Bengali identity – "Bengaliness" – is complicated by its long history of evolution, the fact that Bengal is now divided between India and Bangladesh, and by virtue of a very large international diaspora from both parts of Bengal.

This book explores a wide range of issues connected with Bengali identity.

Amongst other subjects, it considers the special problems arising as a result of the division of Bengal, and concludes by demonstrating that there are many factors which make for the idea of a Bengali identity.
